The Stars Look Down - Rush

Like the fly on the wheel who says

«What a lot of dust we’re raising»

Are you under the illusion

That you’re part of this scheme?

Does it seem a lifetime ago

That you look with pride

On your world of dreams

What is the meaning of this?

And the stars look down

What are you trying to do?

And the stars look down

Was it something I said?

And the stars look down

Like the rat in a maze who says

«Watch me choose my own direction»

Are you under the illusion

The path is winding your way?

Are you surprised by confusion

When it leads you astray?

Have you lived a lifetime today

Or do you feel like you just got carried away?

What is the meaning of this?

And the stars look down

What are you trying to do?

And the stars look down

Was it something I said?

And the stars look down

Something you’d like me to do?

And the stars look down
