Lyrics:
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 sands 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 that 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 bought 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 the 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! 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 Astronomy A star Astronomy A star Astronomy A star
