Astronomy

Lyrics

Clock strikes 12 and moon drops burst
 Out at you from their hiding place
 Like acid and oil on a madman's face
 His reason tends to fly away
 Like lesser birds on the four winds
 Like silver scrapes in May
 And now the sand's become a crust
 Most of you have gone away
 ♪
 Come Susie, dear, let's take a walk
 Just out there upon the beach
 I know you'll soon be married
 And you want to know where winds come from
 Well, it's never said at all
 On the map that Carrie reads
 Behind the clock back there, you know
 At the four winds bar
 ♪
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Four winds at the four winds bar
 Two doors barred and windows barred
 One door to let to take you in
 The other one just mirrors it
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hellish glare and inference
 The other one's a duplicate
 The queenly flux, eternal light
 Or the light that never warms
 Yes, the light that never, never warms
 Oh, the light that never
 Never warms
 Never warms
 Never warms
 ♪
 The clock strikes 12, the moondrops burst
 Out at you from their hiding place
 Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
 Would find themselves at four winds bar
 It's the nexus of the crisis
 And the origin of storms
 Just the place to hopelessly
 Encounter time and then came me
 ♪
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Hey
 Call me Desdinova
 Eternal light
 These gravely digs of mine
 Will surely prove a sight
 And don't forget my dog
 Fixed and consequent
