Clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now the sand's become a crust
Most of you have gone away, you have gone away
Oh, come Susie, dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon 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 the clock back there you know
At the Four Winds Bar
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Four winds at the Four Winds Bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door to let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Uh, hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Yes, the light that never, never warms
Oh, the light that never
Never warms
Never warms
Never warms
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
Would find themselves at Four 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...
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Call me Desdinova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog
Fixed, inconsequent (meaning it is of little importance)

Im glad Naru^ mentioned how they covered the Misfits "die die my darling" cuz...
Metallica hasn't had an original sound for over 20 years!!! They just ride they wave of metal and humpback off other metal bands.. If it's not a cover, of some1 song, They'll literally rip the sound of other current bands.. Example.."King Nothing" + "Fuel" please...haha
Enough Said...

sigh just another Hater. you clearly have no real appreciation for music. contrary to what you believe you cant deny that Metallica are the Biggest metal band in the world. but if your head wasnt so far up your ass youd know this. same goes for any style of music. I may not like Madonna but I wont go hating on her music because shes a pioneer in her field. you're clearly just an ignorant kid with no real understanding of the music industry. Now go home take a shower and was the shame off you.

Secret Treaties (1974) gave Astronomy its first appearance on LP. BOC have reworked it a few times since then but always remained true to the original. In my opinion, this is one of their best songs.

Thanks! I have forgotten that Astronomy was originally from Secret Treaties. I sometimes mistakenly think it's from Imaginos.

Eric Bloom's the coolest frontman ever, and you'll have a hard time finding a guitarist who plays as fast and CLEAN as Buck.
