The sad story of a purple magician driven to suicide through harassment from the villagers, to whom he could no longer relate.
I see stars in the starry sky
I feel stars in my brain
When they came with sticks and stones
I knew who was to blame…
Quick! Quick!
Hand it to me- silver cup-
Drink it down and shoot it up
I don’t to want to cry.
Last time when they came
Swinging with their jagged canes
I almost lost an eye.
To feel pain- okay! Okay to fall-
But give me someplace to turn, some name to call.
I see stars in the starry sky
I know why they shine.
When I saw them march at night
I almost lost my mind…
Quick! Quick!
Hand it to me- my syringe
I cannot afford to cringe;
I must not feel pain.
Closing on me in a ring
If they see me grimacing
They’ll fall on me like rain.
To feel pain-okay! Okay to fall-
But give me someplace to turn, some name to call.
I knew all the stars in the sky
I knew all their names
They controlled the people
Just like marbles in a game…
Quick! Quick!
Fetch my needle and my thread
Stitch my eyelids to my head-
They must not see my eyes.
They must never know the light
Twisting in from Pegasi that
Shines through all their lies.
To feel pain- okay! Okay to fall-
But give me someplace to turn, some name to call.
To cut- okay! To bleed…
Still I promise you, they’ll never see through me.
I see stars in the starry sky
I stood in their light.
They could see me flutter like a
Moth against the night.
Quick! Quick!
Fetch for me my special pill
Hide the money and my will-
It’s my time to fly.
If I have but one regret
It is that I’ve never met
Someone to tell goodbye.
Alone to live- okay! Alone to die.
Perhaps a hand waits for me in the sky.
