Count Zero - Starry Skies lyrics

You're down again Ten out of ten Your talent tries Who'll recognize? You win the truth: You've lost your youth For the big time There's little time Stop sinking! Take a breath! Stop thinking "This is d**h!" Clear that mascara That embarra- Singly dries On your sorry eyes Answer each cattle call Sing them each "Satin Doll" Regard all catcalls As just small pratfalls On your rise To the starry skies You fear your friends You're near the end Nothing to trust But girl, you must Stop sinking! Take a breath! Stop thinking "This is d**h!" Clear that mascara That embarra- Singly dries On your sorry eyes Answer each cattle call Sing them each "Satin Doll" Regard all catcalls As just small pratfalls On your rise To the starry skies
