Hangin' Around The Observatory lyrics

There's a wind inside my soul,
Burnin' secrets in the cold.
My spirit rages.

And the faces in my field,
Only flesh made out of him.
My body ages.

Houses made of stone and ice.
Chimneys smokey paradise.
If you gotta leave, you gotta leave alone.

CHORUS:
Oh Lord, there's a full moon, oh Lord, in my eyes.
There's a full moon; insane vision in disguise.
There's a full moon.

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?

Spend my money but love me honey.
Break my heart but be my girl.
I just want you to be there when I come home.

Drive my new car; smoke my cigar.
Buy you diamonds and your pearls.
Ooh ooh treat me like a dog but throw a little meat on them bones.

CHORUS:
And it's all right.
Yes, it's all right.
It's all right with me.

CHORUS

You can hurt me but don't desert me.

Get your shoes on. Shoe them blues on.
Get that full moon out of your eyes.
You're the river. Girl you live here,
With the sun way up in the sky.

CHORUS:
When you're sad,
Let that sad come through.
Singing little blue song for you,
Little blue song for you.

Let your heart go. Let them winds blow.
There's so much you can learn.
When the change comes, darlin' it might hurt you some.

Baby, baby do you love me baby?
Are you thinkin' of me baby, baby?
Maybe baby, say you do!

Baby, will you be my honey baby?
I ain't got no money baby, baby.
Maybe baby, say you do!

I've been a-selling hot dogs.
I've been trying to get to you.
I've been bowlin' and a rollin'
But there ain't nothin' seems to do.

Baby, baby do you need me baby?
Got the heebee geebies baby, baby.

I am the west wind.
I am the sea gull.
I dance on the waves,
As they break on the shore line.

The moon is my sorrow.
The moon is my lantern.
I search for you so long,
These dark lonely beaches.

Oh where can you be?
This restless sea,
These empty nights,
Have swallowed me.

Look for something
Softer illusions
Soothe these vicious schemes.
There is the old one,
The wise one, the gold one.

Rose puts on her stockings and she lights a cigarette.
Holds her tired face up to the mirror.
She sees a younger woman there she thought she would forget,
And it hurts her now that no one comes to see her.

She used to go to parties and a-dancing with her beau.
Beneath the southern moon they found their places.
But now she's tired all the time and she got no where to go,

Get up; ya get down.
Get lost and then ya get found.
Sure as I'm sittin' here,
Sure as I'm sittin' here.

Ya get a laugh; ya get a cry .
Get 'em all before you die.
Sure as I'm sittin' here,
Sure as I'm sittin' here.

Come on sit down, get down.
Come-a-come-a sit down, get down.
Sure as I'm sittin' here,
Sure as I'm sittin' here.

All the ladies hypnotize you,

Stumblin' down the road I gets to thinkin' as I leave her,
I've left so many times before.
That old north wind's a-blowin' circles round my feet.
What is this sorrow ever for?

She was an angel who flies high in the heavens.
I was a pigeon on the church.
She breathed pure golden as she hid from the procession.
I tumbled from my lowly perch.

CHORUS:
I guess whistles in my ears.

???
Little money,
Goin' down to Mexico.
Take up with some crazy Spanish Lady.
Listen to the old wind blow.
She got earrings,
And she dances.
I'm an old rusty razor blade

I'll take my chances.
I just ain't near as sharp,
As the day I was made.

CHORUS:
I said look out.
There goes another.
Well, they're gypsies.

I drink to ???

Just one more, man,
Then I'm goin' home.
No, pal,
