people are like suns

sweet madness it must be wrong

what kind of fool imagines love

with all this going on

stars burning in the empty sky

and the city is a flame

with a million lights

and they come and they go

in the blink of an eye

people are like suns

and they're burning up inside

people are like suns

science will enable us to hear

to be crystal clear

to make diamonds in the shifting sand

better take all the love that you got in a single hand

and they come and they go

in the fullness of time

people are like suns

they are burning up inside

people are like suns

breathing into life

all that's good in us

to saints become

it can't be helped

doesn't stop me thinking out aloud

i could've done something

and they come and they go

yeah they come and they go

people are like suns

people are like suns

they go out tonight

set this town alight

all fade into white
