Astronomy Lyrics by Red Guitars

Slow to Fade (reissue)

1984

Take the things that you're dreaming of
Fit them to the scheme of the stars above
Do it right and it might and it might show you ways
To read between the lines of what your baby says
The lights that light the end of the evening
Mark the edge between waking and dreaming
And electric‐fingered light dislocates the night
When will the sky grow clear?
Katy told a story but Katy lied
She trusted in a future on the other side
And Katy had a mother used to sit her on her knee
And sing la‐de‐la‐de‐la‐de‐la‐de‐la, la‐de‐la‐de‐la
Looking for adventure with the living dead
“Pull the curtains tight” were the words she said
Let me run my fingers through your short dark hair
Send shudders down your backbone, shivers through the air
The lights that light the end of the evening
Mark the edge between waking and dreaming
And electric‐fingered light dislocates the night
When will the sky grow clear?
The Plough, the Pole star and the Plaeides
Dance around their handbags, singularities
Let me run my fingers through your short dark hair
Read between the lines of what your baby said
The lights that light the end of the evening
Mark the edge between waking and dreaming
And electric‐fingered light dislocates the night
When will the sky grow clear?
