5    5      -6     -6     -6  -6   6    -4
The clock strikes twelve, the moondrops burst 
 
-5 -5   5   -4   4    -4 5    5      
Out at you from their hiding place 
 
5    5-6  -6  -6 -6 -6 -6 6      -4
Like acid and oil on a madman's face 
 
4   -5 -5   5    4  -4  5 5
His reason tends to fly away 
 
-5   5 -5    5   -5    4    4 
Like lesser birds on four winds 
 
5    5 -5    5      -4  5    
Like silver scrapes in May 
 
5    5  -6   -6    -6 -6  6  -4 
And now the sand's become a crust 
 
-5   -5  5   4   -4   5 5
Most of you have gone away
 
 
 
5    5 -6   -6    -6   -6   6  -4
Come Susie dear, let's take a walk 
 
-5   -5   5    4-4   5    5      
Just out there upon the beach 
 
5  5   -6 -6  -6  -6  -6  6
I know you'll soon be married 
 
-4    4    -5   -5  5     4    -4    5    5 
And you'll want to know where winds come from 
 
-5  -5   5 -5   5  -5   4
But it's never said at all 
 
-5  5  5   -5    5 -4   5
On the map that Carrie reads 
 
5 -6   -6  -6    -6   -6     6   -4
Behind the clock back there you know 
 
-5 -5   5    4    -4
At the Four Winds Bar 
 
 
 
-5    5    5    5
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
 
 
 
-6    -6   -6 -7   -6   -6   -6
Four winds at the Four Winds Bar 
 
-7   -7    -6     7  -6 -6    -6
Two doors locked and windows barred 
 
-6  -6   -6   7  -6   -6  -6
One door left to take you in 
 
-6  -7 -7 -7   7    -6 -6  -6
The other one just mirrors it
 
   
 
5     5   5    5
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
 

5  -6 -6    -6    7  -6 -6 -6
In Hellish glare and inference 
 
-6  -7-7   -7   7 -6 -6 -6
The other one's a duplicate 
 
-6   -6 -6   -6   7-6-6    -6
The Queenly flux, eternal light 
 
-7 -7   -7    7   -6 -6  -6
Or the light that never warms 
 
-7  -6  -6    -6  -6 -6   -6 76   -6
Yes the light that never,  never  warms 
 
-6 -6  -6    -6   -6 -6
Or the light that never
 
6 -5   6
Never warms 
 
6 -5   6
Never warms
 
6 -5  6 5
Never warms
 
 
 
5    5      -6     -6    -6   -6   6    -4
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst 
 
-5 -5   5   -4   4    -4 5    5      
Out at you from their hiding place 
 
5    5 -6   -6    -6  -6 6   -4
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear 
 
4     -5    -5  5     4   -4   5    5
Would find themselves at Four Winds Bar
 
 
 
-5   -5  5-5   -5  4   4 4
It's the nexus of the crisis 
 
-5  5   5-5-5  -4   5
And the origin of storms 
 
5    -6  -6   -6   -6  6 -4
Just the place to hopelessly 
 
-5 -5 -5   5    4   4   -4   5
Encounter time and then came me 
 
 
 
-5    5    5    5
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
 
 
 
-6  -6  -6 -7 -7 -6
Call me  Desdinova
 
-7 6 6   -6
Eternal light 
 
-6    -6 -6   -6  -7  -6
These gravely digs of mine 
 
-6   -7 -7   -7  -6  7
Will surely prove a sight 
 
-6  -6    -6 -6 -7  -6
And don't forget my dog
 
-7    -7  -7 6 -6
Fixed and consequent
 
-6 -6- 6 -6 -6  -6
 Astronomy...a star (x2)
