Adrian Borland - Dangerous Stars lyrics

Gazing up from the pavement In amazement, wonder and fear At the stars that shine like perfection Though you can't see the edges from here I remember the first time I touched them I recoiled from the shock and I fell Back to the earth where I lay now With a longing I never dispel And all I wanted was to want something too much And all I needed was the feeling of needing to touch When I stuck my hand in the heavens All it came back with were cuts From the dangerous stars, those dangerous stars It's like the second between expectations And the feeling the moment has gone Injected then left to the craving A voice with no access to song I remember pieces of clothing Ripped as they clung to the rocks Like the ones who must weep in the shadows For the highs and the lows and the loss
