  10184>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
 
 
  Oh, 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
  Oh, 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
 
 
  Hey, hey
  Hey, hey
 
 
  Call me Destinova
  Eternal light
  These gravely digs of mine
  Will surely prove a sight
 
 
  And don't forget my dog
  Fixed, inconsequent
 
 
  Astronomy... a star...
  Astronomy... a star...
 
 
  Astronomy... a star...
  Astronomy... a star...
