lyrics:

THE CLOCK STRIKES 12 AND MOONDROPS BURST OUT AT YOU FROM THEIR HIDING PLACE. LIKE ACID AND OIL ON A MADMAN'S FACE.
HIS REASON'S TEND TO FLY AWAY. LIKE LESSER BIRDS ON THE 4
WINDS. LIKE SILVER SCRAPES IN MAY. NOW THE SANDS BECOME A
CRUST AND MOST OF YOU HAVE GONE AWAY. COME SUSIE DEAR LET'S TAKE A WALK. JUST OUT THERE ON THE BEACH. I KNOW YOU'LL SOON BE MARRIED AND YOU'LL WANT TO KNOW WHERE WINDS COME FROM. WELL IT'S NEVER SAID AT ALL ON THE MAP THAT CARRIE READS. BEHIND THAT CLOCK BACK THERE, YOU KNOW. AT THE 4 WINDS BAR. 4 WINDS AT THE 4 WINDS BAR 2 DOORS LOCKED AND WINDOWS BARRED ONE DOOR LET TO TAKE YOU IN. THE OTHER ONE JUST MIRRORS IT. IN HELLISH GLARE AND INFERENCE THE OTHER ONE MIRRORS IT. THE QUEENLY FLUX, ETERNAL LIGHT OR THE LIGHT THAT NEVER WARMS. THE CLOCK STRIKES 12 AND MOONDROPS BURST OUT AT YOU FROM THEIR HIDING PLACE. MISS CARRIE NURSE AND SUSIE DEAR WOULD FIND THEMSELVES AT THE 4 WINDS BAR. IT'S THE NEXUS OF THE CRISIS AND THE ORIGIN OF STORMS. JUST THE PLACE TO HOPELESSLY ENCOUNTER TIME AND THEN CAME ME, CALL ME. DESDANOVA. ETERNAL LIGHT. THESE GRAVELY DIGS OF MINE SHOULD SURELY PROVE A SIGHT AND DON'T FORGET MY DOG FIXED AND CONSEQUENT_ _ ASTRONOMY --- A STAR
