Starshine Lyrics
Starshine
Oh you used to be silver
Love light, Lover's stare
Well you used to make me shiver
He said "Well this is the price that we would finally pay"
I said "I don't believe you I need you, I need you to stay"
She said "We've been together for so long"
And I said, oh I said
"Playing with fire was"
Oh you used to be silver
Love light, Lover's stare
Well you used to make me shiver
Oh, this is the price that we finally pay
I said "No, I don't believe you, I need you, I need you to stay"
She said "We've been together for so long"
Well I said "Playing with fire was, playing with fire was"
Starshine
Ooh, you used to be silver
Love light, Lover's stare
Well you used to make me shiver
He said "Well baby this is the price that we would finally pay"
And I said "I don't believe you I need you, I need you to stay"
And she said "We've been together for so long"
And I said, and I said "Playing with fire was wrong!"
Playing with fire was
Playing with fire was
Starshine
Oh you used to be silver
Run, run, runaway on down
You make me shiver
Runaway, runaway
Why don't you runaway baby?
I told you what to do with your life but you could not save me
Well, I told you what to do with your life but you could not save me
Starshine
Oh you used to be silver
Love light, Lover's stare
Well you used to make me shiver
He said "Well this is the price that we would finally pay"
I said "I don't believe you I need you, I need you to stay"
She said "We've been together for so long"
And I said, oh I said
"Playing with fire was"
Oh you used to be silver
Love light, Lover's stare
Well you used to make me shiver
Oh, this is the price that we finally pay
I said "No, I don't believe you, I need you, I need you to stay"
She said "We've been together for so long"
Well I said "Playing with fire was, playing with fire was"
Starshine
Ooh, you used to be silver
Love light, Lover's stare
Well you used to make me shiver
He said "Well baby this is the price that we would finally pay"
And I said "I don't believe you I need you, I need you to stay"
And she said "We've been together for so long"
And I said, and I said "Playing with fire was wrong!"
Playing with fire was
Playing with fire was
Starshine
Oh you used to be silver
Run, run, runaway on down
You make me shiver
Runaway, runaway
Why don't you runaway baby?
I told you what to do with your life but you could not save me
Well, I told you what to do with your life but you could not save me

Another cryptic but fine song of hers. I cannot find the meaning on Internet so I have to believe in my version. I think she's singing in it about the fame and its consequences. Fame used to be for her like silver, lovelight, even lover's stare (yeah, her typical romantic metaphors) but later it turned out be not so cool - there was a price of it that she had to pay (something like in "Gold Dust Woman"): pressure, demands, bad relationships between many people. Among that she may also be singing how that rock and roll life stood between her and her partner and because of that they couldn't carry on their relationship for it was impossible (something similar to "Belle Fleur"). And at the end of the song she may be singing how she wants to escpae this crazy heavy rock and roll life but it's not so easy to do - she's helpless and stuck. "Why don't you runaway baby? I told you what to do with your life but you could not save me" - I think she's talking to herself and how she couldn't rescue herself but this line can be also directed to some person (like her lover) she was closed to and who also couldn't save her from that toxic world.
