Sweet madness, it must be wrong What kind of fool imagines love with all this going on? The stars 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 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 And 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
