Lyrics Hoodoo Gurus – The Stars Look Down

I made a paper plane
And threw it into space
It seemed to float forever
No telling where it went

One moonless, summer night
We’ll lie back counting stars
Like diamonds on black velvet
We’ll see the satellites
Fly past the southern cross
And laugh as they observe us
Somewhere a river flows
And whispers in the dark
A story near-eternal
It speaks of mountain rain
Valleys and open plain
And hungers for
The ocean

I don’t wanna die

Tonight, the setting sun
Blood-stained this ragged day
And left our hopes in tatters
But then the twilight came
And covered up our shame
Without a trace of pity

I don’t wanna die

I made a paper plane
And threw it into space
