Astronomy

(originally recorded by blue oyster cult)



The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst

Out at you from their hiding place

Like acid and oil on a madman's face

His reasons tend to fly away



Like lesser birds on the four winds, yeah

Like silver scrapes in may

Now the sands become a crust

And most of you have gone away, then you're gone away



Ah, 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, mm, yeah



Yeah

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Four winds at the four winds bar

Two doors locked and windows barred

One door left to take you in

The other one just mirrors it

Hey!

Hey! yeah!

Hey! yeah!

Hey!



Ooh, in 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

Yes, the light that never, never warms

Never warms, never warms



The clock strikes twelve and 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



Yo!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!



Call me desdenova, eternal light

These gravely digs of mine

Will surely prove a sight

And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent



Astronomy - a star

Astronomy - a star

Astronomy (astronomy) - a star, yeah

Astronomy - a star
