Astronomy

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 pockets. 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 the 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.
