You're hiding out in back yards
You feasted on the flowers
Your army sergeant father's father
Spent twenty years in prison
And way back
In their time
The frontier
Was open
They stayed near
Their fires
And wilted
By starlight
You're missing from the nightclubs
The sparkle of fake diamonds
Sweeping up the sidewalks, slowly
There's nothing left to hold down
And way back
In their time
The frontier
Was open
They stayed near
Their fires
And wilted
By starlight
By starlight, by starlight
It's blasting off the planet
A million ships an hour
It's looking into something different
It's using all the power
A billion bucks a second
It's looking into something new
By starlight, by starlight, by starlight, by starlight
You're hiding out in back yards
You feasted on the flowers
