Em                             D
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
C                       Bm      Em
Out at you from their hiding place
Em                      D
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
     C                  Em
His reason tends to fly away

C                          G
Like lesser birds on the four winds
C                       Bm
Like silver scrapes in May
Em                      D
Now the sands become a crust
C                       Em
And most of you have gone away

Em                              D
Come Susy dear, let's take a walk
C                       Em
Just out there upon the beach
Em                      D
I know you'll soon be married
C                                       Em
And you want to know where the winds come from

C                       G
Well it's never said at all
C                       B
On the map that Carrie reads
Em                      D
Behind the clock back there you know
C                  Em
At the four winds bar


{#}Em - D - C - Em {#}

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked and windows barred
One door let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey, hey, hey, hey


In hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Or the light that never, never warms


Em                              D
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
C                       Em
Out at you from their hiding place
Em                      D
Miss Carrie nurse and Suzy dear
C                                       Em
Would find themselves at the four winds bar

C                       G
It's the nexus of the crisis
C               B
The origin of storms
Em                      D
Just the place to hopelessly
C                       B    Em
Encounter time and then came me
Hey, hey, hey, hey



{#}Em - D - C - Em {#}

Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent

Astronomy...a star
