The Stars are Out

Idolatry isn't what it used to be
Not since they miniaturised God, you see
Kid's got talent like my bed's got styrofoam
I know it's true, I've seen it on my telephone
Tommy's talent is the spoken word
He takes a diamond, turns that jewel into a turd
Turns that jewel into a turd

The stars are out tonight
We have been robbed of light

The ordinary isn't where it used to be
Since it became the new extraordinary
Maggie Thatcher, no relation
Does melisma like vibration
She can string a syllable
So far it's criminal

The stars are out tonight
We have been robbed of light

Jackie's face is long
Her ten seconds of fame are gone
And now I hear she is
A scientologist

We have been robbed of light
The stars are out tonight

The stars…

We have been robbed of light
The stars are out tonight
The stars are out tonight
We have been robbed of light
