[Verse]
You're hiding out in back yards
You feasted on the flowers
Your army sergeant father's father
Spent twenty years in prison

[Chorus]
And way back
In their time
The frontier was open
They stayed near
Their fires and wilted
By starlight

[Verse]
You're missing from the nightclubs
The sparkle of fake diamonds
Sweeping up the sidewalks, slowly
There's nothing left to hold down

[Chorus]
And way back
In their time
The frontier was open
They stayed near
Their fires and wilted
By starlight
By starlight

[Chorus]
It's blasting off the planet
A million ships an hour
It's looking into something different
It's using all the power
A billion bucks a second
It's looking into something new
By starlight...!
You're hiding out in back yards
You feasted on the flowers
