BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics : "astronomy"

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

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'll 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 locked 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
Or 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


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


Astronomy...a star
