Astronomy |
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops 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 |
Now the sands become a crust |
And most of you have gone away |
Come Susy 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 the 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 locked and windows barred |
One door let to take you in The other one just mirrors it Hey, hey, hey, hey |
In hellish glare and inference |
The other one’s a duplicate |
The queenly flux, eternal light |
Or the light that never warms (repeat twice) |
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst |
Out at you from their hiding place |
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear |
Would find themselves at the four winds bar |
It’s the nexus of the crisis |
The origin of storms |
Just the place to hopelessly |
Encounter time and then came me 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 (repeat indefinitely) |
