Observatory

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
