| The 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
|
| Now the sands become a crust
|
| And most of you have gone away
|
| Come Susy dear, let’s take a walk
|
| Just out there upon the beach
|
| I know you’ll soon be married
|
| And you want to know where the 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 let to take you in The other one just mirrors it Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| In hellish glare and inference
|
| The other one’s a duplicate
|
| The queenly flux, eternal light
|
| Or the light that never warms (repeat twice)
|
| The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
|
| Out at you from their hiding place
|
| Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
|
| Would find themselves at the four winds bar
|
| It’s the nexus of the crisis
|
| The origin of storms
|
| Just the place to hopelessly
|
| Encounter time and then came me Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| Call me Desdenova, eternal light
|
| These gravely digs of mine
|
| Will surely prove a sight
|
| And don’t forget my dog, fixed and consequent
|
| Astronomy… a star (repeat indefinitely) |
