She was married to somebody else
I was lonely and lived by myself
Baby, that's a battle you can't win
So we met and we started the clock
Did that help -- no it did not
But I guess I knew that going in
And watched the sweeping second hand
But at least I was calm
(1stx )
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
A room where a luminous moon was waning
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
But at least I was calm
Fun is fun, but when push comes to shove
When it's done, we deny it was love
She'll say Jim -- I think it's a mistake
And the room where we looked at the sky
Will be there with its telescope eye
Just another sentry kept awake
Watching over silverlake
But at least I was calm
(1stx )
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
A room where a luminous moon was waning
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
But at least I was calm
And you'll be glad to leave with dignity intact
She won't be sad so much as matter-of-fact
And it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact
2x
But at least I was calm
(1stx )
On the road to the big observatory where the planets were hung
And the stars swung around the second story and we stumbled upon
A room where a luminous moon was waning
And I knew I had leapt into the great beyond
But at least I was calm
At least I managed to stay calm
