Stars of Stage and Screen Lyrics

Spring is coming, summer nigh.

We need fertilizer to grow the myrtles high

Before the asphalt lie upon them with a sigh.

They never got to say goodbye,

The myrtles that grew high.

Where they once stood, a weather vain

That doesn't spin. It's coming loose. The tepid wind seduced as all the pretty flowers of Holland arrive.

Bewilder the recluse,

The tepid wind seduced.

Recenter myself and think.

Clear away thoughts, don't blink.

No sinking, sinking, sinking.

Breathe, center myself and think.

Anytime we'd all meet in the green room village green,

We'd be stars of stage and screen.

We were stars of stage and screen.

Stars of stage and screen.

We were stars of stage and screen.

I can smell the disenchantment,

The aroma of collapse won't languish in the memories

Of monuments not found on any faded maps.

They're buried in the treasuries and languish in the memories.

'Cause just like footprints in the snow,

They disappear like ours

Just as memories erase.

When old adventure sours, acquire new tastes.

So let a photograph replace

What memories erase.

Recenter myself and think.

Clear away thoughts, don't blink.

No sinking, sinking, sinking.

Breathe, center myself and think.

Anytime we'd all meet in the green room village green,

We'd be stars of stage and screen.

We were stars of stage and screen.

Stars of stage and screen.

We were stars of stage and screen.
