Don't come around, Captain Ballerina Kick Me - says the note upon his back He sits by his lonesome No one to protect him Teardrops stain his worn out paperback He sleeps in the attic Oils on his fingers Paintings line the walls that no one sees And pages of his stories gather dust in corners Boy's got the dreamer's disease He knows that he is different Never gonna fit in Stargazer, slow down Looking up, but always from the ground Stargazer, arise Standing brings you closer to the sky Papa's not around Mama's never seen the ocean The ceiling leaps at the mention of rain He's so bloody brilliant If anyone'd care to notice But there's too much noise Too many bills to pay Worn from all the waiting Silently he's fading Fear can lead to violence And years, a life of bitter silence Black and white and brown and grey picket fences chipping paint He's color, he's the light He's voices, he's a life to save Stargazer slow down Lyin' where they left him on the ground Stargazer arise Standing brings you closer to the sky
