Astronomy - Originally Recorded by Blue Oyster Cult in 1974
---------
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, yeah,
Like silver scrapes in May,
Now the sands become a crust,
And most of you have gone away.
Ooh, yeah gone away.
Ah, 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.
Mmm, yeah.
Yeah, 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, yeah, hey, hey
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 Suzy 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 - a star.
Astronomy - a star.
