Constellation Prize - Jason Webley

Two stars fell out of the sky

Bounced off a cloud and landed in your eye

Now there’s two stars right here in my arms tonight

Two cars went speeding by A hair too fast to catch the rapture of a dragonfly

Now those two cars are parked outside bars tonight

You’ve got a Turkish umbrella over your head and a faded lover in your bed

And a fleeting immortality balanced on the tip of your toe

Spent about eleven hours making love last night, this morning someone turned

the flowers up a bit too bright

Yes, the world is grinning, my head is spinning, and my feet can’t take me where they want me to go

Two stars fell out of the sky

It always hurts to watch a good thing die

Well now those two stars are safe behind bars

Right here in my arms tonight

You’ve got a faded umbrella over your head and a Turkish lover in your bed

And a fleeting immortality balanced on the tip of your toe

Spent about thirty-seven hours making love last night, this morning someone

turned the flowers up a bit too bright

Yes, the world is spinning, my head is grinning, and my feet can’t take me where they want me to go

Two stars fell out of the sky

Rolled the dough, chopped the apples, started baking a pie

Now those two stars are in mason jars, I said those two stars are lighting

cigars

Those two stars are just where they are, right here in my arms tonight
