See the girl with the stardust hair
Baby blue like a nursery rhyme
Did you know she can see through time?
And the boy with the sunset eyes
Swore to her they were paradise
Wore her down till she called him mine
All the light in the world could not compare
To her
Not an ounce of truth to his
I'm aware
I'm aware
I'm aware
I'm aware
They sang the language of Babylon
Built their tower on a wishing well
Kissed me twice and said
"You won't tell
No one?"
When the night came
They fell apart
Pulled the petals from a broken heart
Counted backwards from ten to one
And we're gone
Oh
To die for the rock and roll
The silent film
But the world don't know
"Let me stay" like a whisper
Low
See the girl with the cigarette
Swore the love was the love she'd get
For the love of a cigarette
All the light in the world could not compare
To her
Not an ounce of truth to his
I'm aware
I'm aware
I'm aware
I'm aware
They sang the language of Babylon
Built their tower on a wishing well
Kissed me twice and said
"You won't tell
No one?"
When the night came
They fell apart
Pulled the petals from a broken heart
Counted backwards from ten to one
And we're gone
