Astronomy Lyrics

The middle lane has trapped my car
	in red-light claustrophobia.
I slip the shackles, cut the rope--
	stand naked with a telescope
	as the cat walks alone
	under a big sky.
Against the dark so thin and white--
	gonna be a big sky night.

Miss Galileo, come with me
	and view the new Astronomy.
Black hole dressing on salad plate--
	Quasar at the kissing gate.
Now the cat, he walks alone
	under a big sky.
Umbrella dome pin-pricked in lights--
	gonna be a big sky night.

My spectacles, my white lab coat--
	my coffee, thermos and my notes.
I pat my pocket. I got the keys
	to the secrets of the observatory.
And closing the door,
	I feel a new dawn
	as the darker slides align--
	you to yours and me to mine.

And now you stand, assisting me--
	I can touch what I can see, see, see.
I look in wonder, I feel no shame--
	see the consequences of the game.
Expand my universe.
Head for the Big Bang.
Reach for my switch and shout--
	gonna turn the big sky out.

There's got to be astronomy.
Astronomy.
