Three Stars

THREE STARS - inflatable vegetables

Arrogant hunter pissed off the wrong woman
So she had you killed by a giant scorpion
Your dogs must have been arrogant, too
Cause they suffered the same fate, the same fate as you

Delta, Gamma, Zeta - three stars
Belthazar, Gaspar, and Melchior - three stars
Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka - three stars
Nebulous stories half forgotten

Three stars above the horizon
Every night we dance similar spirals
Drifting slowly apart
Floating alone in the midst of an ocean
Floating alone just above the horizon
Three stars

They call you the mages, the wise men who study stars
Did you get drunk at some cheap middle-eastern bar?
You should have gone left, you turned right
You won't ask for directions, you wander all night

***

I bought a pearl necklace to hang on your dainty throat
You're always losing your things, places so remote
You say that it's safe from all harm
Oh my princess, you must have extremely long arms

Three Stars
by glennny

Hermes may have invented it,
But Orpheus perfected it.
He could coax the trees and rocks into dance.

Eurydice was so lovely
Until the Satyr chased her to the viper’s pit
Orpheus could not believe it
He played the blues for the gods and nymphs
And everybody wept

“Persephone have mercy on me,
‘cuz I’ll do anything to get her back.”

The Swan, the Eagle and the Harp
Found easily by three bright stars
The Summer Triangle up high
The end of fun and love is nigh

“I can take her back on one condition:
Don’t look back into the under world”

“I had to trust she’d follow me.
This fed into my anxiety.
I was too glad to reach the Earth.
I could not wait to look at her.
I was there, but she wasn’t yet.
She vanished into my regret."
Mortal folly…

"Aquila was sent to kill me,
But my Lyra saved me."

The Swan, the Eagle and the Harp
Found easily by three bright stars
The Summer Triangle up high
The end of fun and love is nigh

Three Stars by Mr. Johnny Cashpoint

I don’t love it, I don’t hate it;
It’s not bad, but it’s not good.
Barely care enough to rate it
Or to change it, if I could.

You ask me how I’d rate my life?
Overall, I’d give it three
Out of ten, or maybe five,
Depending on the company ...

(Apathy won’t kill me, but could
Be the death of me)

Could be worse but could be better;
No real highs but no real lows.
Want for greater, fear the lesser -
That's the way this mean life rolls.

I’d rate my life a solid 3
Give or take,3 out of 5,
Just be glad you didn’t see
How many stars I gave your life.

(But oh those little bursts of happiness
When the signal's drowning out the noise) x2

Like far-off stars in pitch-black night -
Still reaching out; like I have a choice.

Three Stars (By: Hoblit)

I write these words unto thee
A simple un-apology
A correspondence, an RSVP
Offering you a part of me

Why don’t you kiss my three stars?
A double S!
Why don't you?

Take your time getting back to me
I am not in a hurry
Email, fax or letter, whatever is easy
Offer’s good anytime you please

Why don’t you kiss my three stars?
A double S!
Why don't you?

And you can go four stars
Yourself in the three stars
You P U double dollar sign Y

Why don’t you kiss my three stars?
A double S!

You Mother 1-2-3-4-5-6 stars

Nick Soma - Three Stars

Three stars in the sky, so much brighter than the dim
Street lights and the empty cafés where no one
Ever seems to go anymore, anyway
Anyhow, strange lines, blurred and surreal
Don't seem to work, but nobody's perfect
God only knows, boy, anything goes

Three stars, the one thing on the canvas that manages
To distract from the scenery
Now, somehow, the colors don't seem to fit
On second glance, I'm somehow lost in it now
As if you were on the outside, tell me what can I do?
I don't know, but then, everything flows

I must find there's nothing I know for sure
And I'm not even sure about that no more
But as I think of those three stars, I'm OK

I award
Three stars to your wonderful new tattoo
Of three stars which I think are a symbol for what's
Inside if you tilt your head just a bit
In the mirror where opposites seem to collide
I find that's a great way to express what I think means
That in some way, everything flows

Three stars for the execution of your
Idea, but four for the concept
And five stars for the way it hurts my head
On second glance, four stars, it has gotten better
And better, I know, five stars, 'cause I'm not a nag
And tomorrow never knows, anything goes

I must find I'm not heading anywhere
And I can't find a meaning in anything
But as I think of the three stars, I'm OK

Three Stars
by Berkeley Social Scene

[Intro]
(verse music - guitar only x1)
(verse music - add bass+drums x1)

[Verse] Bm F#m C#dim D x2
Thank you for taking the time
Explaining how you feel is fine
But ranking me on a one to five
Hurts me bad but I'll survive

[Pre-chorus] Bm 'G A 'E x2
I work so hard but you don’t realize
It’s so easy for you to criticize

[Chorus] D F# E A | Bm G D A x2
I’m not the worst
I’m not the best
And you thought the world should know
Glad you got that off your chest

[Verse 2]
What a waste of time
ambivalence is a crime
Your opinion counts
But not that much

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Solo: Ch] Bm G D A x4
