lyrics

Can I open up my heart
See my ribcage split apart
Would it look different than yours
Would my lungs fill just like yours

I'd like to peel back the world
And see what's behind

Stars in your eyes
Stars in your eyes

Have you been down there at winter
In the frosty glowing mist
Did you wish to be an otter
So that you could swim in this
And if you could swim in this
Wear these waters, take a sip
Gaze up at the snowy cliffs
Yea, that mist could be your kiss

Lookin' up from that abyss
Yea that mist
Could be your kiss

Stars in your eyes
Stars in your eyes

I don't care how it feels for you / The world is cruel
Because I am the one who's blue / But so am I
I don't know how it feels / It's easy
'cause I am the one / To miss the boat
Stars
Stars

It was quiet and warm
On the little town beach
And the people were older
All the kids were asleep

You're all so full of shit
I could really just cry
But I don't want your life
And I don't wanna die

I am not your jester
Though I know I make you laugh
It's so easy somehow
It's so tragic somehow

I thought I got rid of that clown
I thought I got rid of you
I thought I saw
Stars
Stars

Stars in your eyes
I saw stars in your eyes
I saw stars
Yea, I saw stars

In his relentless oeuvre-building, Paul has amassed an especially articulate kind of existentialism: what it means to persist, and to create, in a world which dies in the near distance. In No Masters in Paradise, the form of the songwriter’s ballad, in the hands of an expert, is turned inward for comfort, resisting the base lure of worldly approval. ... more
