Jack Johnson Stars Lyrics

Stars Lyrics

The air was more than human
And the heat was more than hungry
And the cars
were square and spitting diesel fumes

The boars were running
wild
Because they're big and mean and sacred
And the children playing
cricket with no shoes

That morning we woke up man
To a seven-hour
drive
Well there we were in South Batong
Where women are men and men go
wrong

And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still
just the holes to heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer
questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm

The
officials were quite friendly 
Once we bribed them with our sweet
talk
And we drowned them with our cigarettes and booze
Disembarking from
the port
With no mistakes of any sort
Moving south the engine running
smooth

The next morning we woke up man
With the sunrise to the right
well
Moving back north to Port Blair
Where boats break and children
stare

And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still
just the holes to heaven, mmm
Man and there were so many fewer
questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
