Up on a pedestal
Up on a stage
You bring us to tears
Telling tales of your fears.
All listening - but somehow no one hears.

Then the news comes suddenly.
Another one dies.
Another sad ending.
Another fan cries.
Which part of life was just too much to take?

Stars that fall
Leave blazing trails
Across the night sky.
Stars that fall
Their memory
Will keep their soul alive.

It's part of the lifestyle.
Part of the show.
Money and fame.
Confusion and shame.
Can buy escape. An accident, they say.

It's a waste of the potential.
It's a waste of time.
And overall I say it's a
Waste of paper and a waste of rhyme.
There's got to be another way.

CHORUS

Who'll be the next one?
You never can tell.
Just look around
The lost are begging to be found.
Don't let them fall
Fall to the ground...

Stars that fall
When one is gone
The legend that they leave lives on.
Stars that fall.
We'll never know
What we never heard
From stars that fall.
