Astronomy Lyrics - Imaginos - Blue Oyster Cult

Clock strikes twelve and moon drops 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 (hm, yeah 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 (hm, 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 moon drops 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 

Astronomy, a star 

Astronomy, a star 

Astronomy, a star 

Astronomy
