She was married to somebody else
|
I was lonely and lived by myself
|
Baby, that's a battle you can't win
|
So we met and we started the clock
|
Did that help -- no it did not
|
But I guess I knew that going in
|
And watched the sweeping second hand
|
|
But at least I was calm
|
On the road to the big observatory
|
Where the planets were hung
|
And the stars swung around the second story
|
And we stumbled upon
|
A room where a luminous moon was waning
|
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
|
But at least I was calm
|
|
Fun is fun, but when push comes to shove
|
When it's done, we'll deny it was love
|
She will say Jim -- this was a mistake
|
And the room where we looked at the sky
|
Will be there with its telescope eye
|
Just another sentry kept awake
|
Watching over silverlake
|
|
But at least I was calm
|
On the road to the big observatory
|
Where the planets were hung
|
And the stars swung around the second story
|
And we stumbled upon
|
A room where a luminous moon was waning
|
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
|
But at least I was calm
|
|
And you'll be glad to leave with dignity intact
|
She won't be sad so much as matter-of-fact
|
Like it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact
|
|
But at least I was calm
|
On the road to the big observatory
|
Where the planets were hung
|
And the stars swung around the second story
|
And we stumbled upon
|
A room where a luminous moon was waning
|
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
|
But at least I was calm
|
Yeah, at least I managed to stay calm
|
