King Crimson - Starless (Live USA)

Ice blue, silver sky,
Gold through my eyes. Gold through my eyes
Though my eyes see still grey, still grey
To me, ('ts)
Starless and bible black.

Old friend, guiding light,
Cruel, twisted smile.
Seen through eyes dark, your light only shows

Starless and bible black.

Judgeful, pieces change
Card's fall, faces change, cat's cunning shows
In the end, you may win,
But you lose,
Starless and bible black.

"Starless" (Bruford, Cross, Fripp, Palmer-James, Wetton)

Lyrics: What have you done with them?

[goranjagodnik]

@fedegas13 I couldn't find proper lyrics therefore I didn't put original ones because they are obviously incorrect..but I promise I'll do it asap.

@goranjagodnik

I know, I was referring to the singer, who completely messed the lyrics. Great version, still.. The violin sure sounds different, though.

@fedegas13 I found lyrics on John Wetton's site and already put them here, he can't be wrong :) also he says KC had as many live Starless lyrics as gigs...

[turtlliwdnifuoyehthr]

i think that starless lyrics never were stable.

wetton also never sang

"And I thought my heart would break

When you doubled up at the stake

With your fingers all a-shake

You could never tell a winner from a snake

"

in "easy money" after release of the album.

he sang "well i argued with the judge"

@CrimsonKing73

these lyrics are better than the original, which don't seem to rhyme very well.

[CrimsonKing73]

Starless & Bible Black Old Friend, Guiding Light Cruel twisted smile ouou [should be "seen"] through eyes, dark your lies, mark all time. Starless & Bible Black.

I love that the words Starless and Bible Black are not on the piece titled Starless and Bible Black but are on the piece titled Starless. Love it.
