People Are Like Suns

Crowded House · Time On Earth [2007]

Sweet madness, it must be wrong



What kind of fool imagines love with all this going on?



The star's burning in the empty sky



And the city is aflame 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, the sun



Science will enable us to hear, to be crystal clear



To make diamonds in the shifting sand



Better take all the love that you've 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, say it's because



It can't be helped, doesn't stop me thinking out loud



I could have done something



They come and they go, they come and they go



And they come and they go



People are like suns, people are like suns



People are like suns



They go out tonight, set this town alight



All fade into white
