Starlight gonna burn out tonight
And drink ‘till I forget
Somebody turned out the lights
Now I don’t know where I been

Fell down and I’m on the ground
Now I’m looking up again
To the sky where I used to shine
That’s where it all began

That’s where it all begins
Nobody always wins
And that’s where it all will end
Until we try again, again and again

Falling stars landing on the boulevard
It’s all behind the scenes
Should’ve known we’d never get very far
In this town of broken dreams

Someone should have told you
It’s not as easy as it seems
Someone could have shown you
It’s all behind the scenes, it’s all just make believe

Another round for the circus clown
He’s finally made it big
Center ring, now he’s gonna sing
The national anthem

He wrote the song, it’s a sing-along
But he’s forgetting all the words
And now he cries just like Jekyll and Hyde
And the carousel it turns

And that’s where we all return
When will we ever learn
To laugh and play along
The show it must go on and on and on

Falling stars landing on the boulevard
It’s all behind the trends
Should’ve known we’d never get very far
In this city of dead ends

Someone should have told you
That’s just the way it goes
Someone could have shown you
It’s all in who you know, it only goes to show
