Текст песни The Stars

As fireworks
Burst over the land
I could have sworn I felt the influence
Of an unseen hand
The ghost of
Someone else's dream
A forgotten god, stopping by
To survey the scene

And the lights were
Complicated and so we all
Just prayed to the spirits
Above and below
That the water
Would never reach us in time
But I had a feeling that
We'd never get to 2009

(Chorus:)
Didn't want a wave
But a wave was coming, yeah
We didn't wanna swim
But the cities were sinking
And though we wanted to react
We were too busy sleeping through
The ground that was shaking
The bass was thumping

There's a tidal wave coming
So you better start learning to swim (repeat)
And now's as good as any
As a time and place to begin

On TV, they said
The storms would have passed
But their answers didn't correlate
To the questions we'd asked
They said a spark that's gone
Is not a spark to mourn
You can't resuscitate a person
Who was never born

So I climbed to
The tallest building in town

To see the rain rushing in
To feel my heart breaking down
And as the blue scene drew nearer
I saw a window to another world
With strange fish I'd never seen
And in that that moment, realized

(Chorus)

There's a tidal wave coming
So you better star learning to swim
So you better star learning to swim
And now's as good as any
As a time and place to begin

I should have known this was coming, yeah
Could not have been more obvious
Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
Except bigger and more ominous

I should have seen this unfolding, yeah
Count not have been more obvious
Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
Except bigger and more ominous

(Instrumental)

Every moment lost, someone else has won
Every time you breathe, there's another gone
Every passing second is a minute late
Every breath can escalate a hurricane
And do you think we'd realize just what we've done
Torn down the canvas and held up the sun
We ripped down the canvas from up above

What if we were created to gaze
What if we were created to gaze at the stars up above?

(Chorus)
