Lyrics

Constellation of the Heart

[Chorus] We take all the telescopes And we turn them inside out And we point them away from the big sky Put your eye right up to the glass, now And here we'll find the constellation of the heart [Verse 1] Steer your life by these stars On the unconditional chance 'Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance This is the constellation of the heart [Chorus] We take all the telescopes And we turn them inside out And we point them away from the big sky Put your eye right up to the glass, now And here we'll find the constellation of the heart [Post-Chorus] The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart [Chorus] We take all the telescopes And we turn them inside out And we point them away from the big sky Put your eye right up to the glass, now And here we'll find the constellation of the heart [Post-Chorus] The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart [Verse 2] Well we think you'd better wake up captain There's something happening up ahead We've never seen anything like it We've never seen anything like it before [Verse 3] I want a full report That's it What do you mean, "That's it?" That's all you get You'd better do something about it What am I supposed to do about it? We don't know, but you can't run away from it Maybe you'd better face it I can't do that Come on, face it I can't do that Come on, come on, face it What am I gonna do? Is it gonna hurt, is it gonna hurt me bad? [Interlude] Ooh, here's the constellation of the heart [Verse 3] Who said anything about it hurting? It's gonna be beautiful It's gonna be wonderful It's gonna be paradise [Verse 4] Just being alive, it can really hurt Ooh find me the man with the ladder It's gonna be beautiful And he might lift me up to the stars It's gonna be wonderful It's gonna be paradise [Interlude] Without the pain, there'd be no learning Without the hurting, we'd never change [Verse 5] Ooh and if you see the woman with the key It's gonna be beautiful It's gonna be wonderful It's gonna be apple pie I hear she's opening up the doors to Heaven It's gonna be beautiful It's gonna be wonderful It's gonna be paradise [Verse 6] Oh, and here comes the man with the stick It's gonna be beautiful It's gonna be wonderful It's gonna be paradise He said he'd fish me out of the moon It's gonna be beautiful It's gonna be wonderful It's gonna be the apple of my eye [Outro] Oh, here's the constellation of the heart It is the constellation of the heart Oh yes, it is the constellation of the heart
