Jethro Tull - Astronomy lyrics

Astronomy (2x)

The middle lane has trapped my car

In red-light claustrophobia

I slip the shackles, cut the rope

Stand naked with a telescope

As the cat walks alone

Under a big sky

Against the dark so thin and white

Gonna be a big sky night.

Astronomy (3x)

Miss Galileo, come with me

And view the new Astronomy

Black hole dressing on salad plate

Quasar at the kissing gate.

Now the cat, he walks alone

Under a big sky

Umbrella dome pin-pricked in lights

Gonna be a big sky night.

My spectacles, my white lab coat

My coffee, thermos and my notes

I pat my pockets.

I got the keys

To the secrets of the observatory

And closing the door

I feel a new dawn

As the darker slides align

You to yours and me to mine.

Astronomy (3x)

And now you stand, assisting me

I can touch what I can see, see, see

I look in wonder, I feel no shame

See the consequences of the game

Expand the universe

Head for the Big Bang

See the consequences of the game

Expand the universe

Head for the Big Bang

Reach for my switch and shout

(2x)

There's got to be astronomy

Astronomy.
