Astronomy
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

Veteran of the Psychic Wars
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

"The Vigil"
In a purple vision
Many thousand years ago
I saw the silent stranger
Walk the earth alone
Twenty-seven faces
With their eyes turned to the sky
I’ve got a camera
And an airtight alibi
I know they’re out there
We see them coming
Faster than the speed of light
They greet us in the dead of the night
Somewhere, someday, someone
They’ll be light and sound
They’ll alight on the ground
On which we stand
Somewhere, someday, someone
Will help us to survive
They’re gonna show us hell
And bring us back alive
Well, I’m no poet, but I can’t be fooled
The lies don’t count, the whispers do
I hear the whispers on the wind
They say the earth has fallen due
We run in circles
Our days are numbered
Every night I look away
To the heavens and I pray
Come to us
Come to us
Our lights are dim
Our roads are crumbling
And we don’t know what to do
We’re sick and tired
And dying to meet you
’cause we bit off more than
We can chew
Reaper, Vigil, Godzilla, Joan Crawford, Lip in the Hills, Stairway to the Stars, We Gotta Get Out of this Place, Burnin' For You, Dominance and Submission, Then Came the Last Days of May, Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll, and MORE!!!! have fun!!
Stairway to the Stars (from their eponymous first album)
You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it love to you
But should I sign it just for you
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do
You can drive my motorcar
It's insured to thirty thou
Kill them all if you wish
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you

Stairway to the stars, we got better things to do
You can have my autograph
I think I'll sign it good health to you
Upon the cast, your broken arm
Stairway to the stars, I think I'll write good health to you
Stairway to the stars, I hope you heal up real quick
Stairway to the stars...
Come on, let's get on outa here
