Blue Oyster Cult: Astronomy (Imaginos Version)

lyrics: 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

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
Or 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!

Call me desdinova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog
Fixed and consequent

Astronomy...a star

This song is.. i can't actually describe it. H.P. Lovecraft would like it :)

I got into my step-dad's 8 tracks and put some old BOC in. Needless to say, my eyes bugged open and never was I the same. Hahaaa! Thank you God for Blue Oyster Cult!

[Lazerrus]

The best version period.

I broke my neck head banging to BOC.

Blue Oyster Cult rocks fan forever

@jaxxstraw That's because it was actually an Alan Lanier solo album. The label refused to release it unless it was a BOC album, so he brought the band in, rerecorded some tracks and released it as a BOC album.

@Rainmaker2212

Wow - someone on here actually knows who H. P. Lovecraft is!  There may be hope yet for the imminent return of the great old ones. . .

I prefer this version because there's MOAR GUITAR <3

[1willhughes]

ASTRONOMY (live ) on SOME ENCHANTED EVENING....is the FINEST live performance EVER recorded...FLAWLESS...BUCK is the fastest smoothest most creatively interesting guitar player out there...the synth TALKS!!!

[jaxxstraw]

This is my favourite version. I loved this album when it came out. The only thing is it's one of those albums, like Hawkwind's Chronicle Of The Black Sword, that feels too short. Like it should have been a double album.

Oh, and the title track is kinda sucky.

[MaestroDraven]

Definitely a top contender for my favorite BOC song......if only I could get Del Rio's Song out of my head :)
