Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst<br>Out at you from their hiding place<br>Like acid and oil on a madman's face<br>His reason tends to fly away<br>Like lesser birds on the four winds<br>Like silver scrapes in may<br>And now the sand's become a crust<br>Most of you have gone away<br><br>Come susie dear, let's take a walk<br>Just out there upon the beach<br>I know you'll soon be married<br>And you'll want to know where winds come from<br>Well it's never said at all<br>On the map that carrie reads<br>Behind the clock back there you know<br>At the four winds bar<br><br>Hey! hey! hey! hey!<br><br>Four winds at the four winds bar<br>Two doors locked and windows barred<br>One door to let to take you in<br>The other one just mirrors it<br><br>Hey! hey! hey! hey!<br><br>Hellish glare and inference<br>The other one's a duplicate<br>The queenly flux, eternal light<br>Or the light that never warms<br>Yes the light that never, never warms<br>Or the light that never<br>Never warms<br>Never warms<br>Never warms<br><br>The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst<br>Out at you from their hiding place<br>Miss carrie nurse and susie dear<br>Would find themselves at four winds bar<br><br>It's the nexus of the crisis<br>And the origin of storms<br>Just the place to hopelessly<br>Encounter time and then came me<br><br>Hey! hey! hey! hey!<br><br>Call me desdinova<br>Eternal light<br>These gravely digs of mine<br>Will surely prove a sight<br>And don't forget my dog<br>Fixed and consequent<br><br>Astronomy...a star
