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 |
