One By One

Now my dead end street
Is a culdesac
For every acre gone
There's five new cadalacs
I know I'm too young to get so damn strung out by all that
But all our small town stores
Have got new big name signs
And the sky gets tangled in new telephone lines
I dial three more numbers
For the same old friends of mine

Now don't go changing on me
Don't go rearranging
Don't go changing on me now

How long
'til every single star is gone?
One by one
They leave you when your day is done

All these pop star stories
On my TV screen
Who slept with who and where and why
It wasn't what it seemed
I listened all day
But still the radio played the same three things

Don't go changing on me
Don't go rearranging
Don't go changing on me now

How long
'til every single star is gone?
One by one
They leave you when your day is done

Wait!
Hold up the fading sky
It's hard to feel real
With all this light in your eyes
Wait!
And save a fading star
One by one I wonder where they are

How long
'til every single star is gone?
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
One by one
They leave you when your day is done
