Observatory

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
She was married to somebody elseI was lonely and lived by myselfBaby, that's a battle you can't winSo we met and we started the clockDid that help -- no it did notBut I guess I knew that going inAnd watched the sweeping second handBut at least I was calmOn the road to the big observatoryWhere the planets were hungAnd the stars swung around the second storyAnd we stumbled uponA room where a luminous moon was waningAnd I knew I had leapt into the great beyondBut at least I was calmFun is fun, but when push comes to shoveWhen it's done, we'll deny it was loveShe will say Jim -- this was a mistakeAnd the room where we looked at the skyWill be there with its telescope eyeJust another sentry kept awakeWatching over silverlakeBut at least I was calmOn the road to the big observatoryWhere the planets were hungAnd the stars swung around the second storyAnd we stumbled uponA room where a luminous moon was waningAnd I knew I had leapt into the great beyondBut at least I was calmAnd you'll be glad to leave with dignity intactShe won't be sad so much as matter-of-factLike it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pactBut at least I was calmOn the road to the big observatoryWhere the planets were hungAnd the stars swung around the second storyAnd we stumbled uponA room where a luminous moon was waningAnd I knew I had leapt into the great beyondBut at least I was calmYeah, at least I managed to stay calm
