Album | Hangin' Around The Observatory |
作词 : Hiatt | |
Hangin' around the observatory. | |
We were waitin' to see the moon. | |
Well we thought that we was all gypsies, | |
Come to escape these lousy ruins. | |
Well that telescope; that mighty eye. | |
It's bigger, jack, that you or i. | |
Oh, it sees the stars, it sees the moon. | |
You might as well stay in the room. | |
Professor, professor, i forgot how it looks. | |
Could i just take another peak? | |
Is there really a man who lives up there? | |
Is it all green cheese so to speak? | |
Well now listen boy. these are the facts. | |
The moon is white. the sky is black. | |
And you are a speck on this crummy earth, | |
And a dollar and a half is all you're worth. | |
Why did i come here? | |
Let all the tender scientist, | |
Get lost in poetry. | |
And let all these moist romantic guys, | |
Turn back to history. | |
Hangin' around the observatory. | |
Waitin' to see the moon. | |
Well we thought that we was gypsies | |
Come to escape these lousy ruins. |
