Aimee Mann - Observatory lyrics

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 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'll deny it was love She will say Jim this was 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 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 Like it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact But at least I was calm 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 Yeah, at least I managed to stay calm
