Observatory

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 goin' 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 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 silver lake



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 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



Well, 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 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
