Astronomy Lyrics - Under Wraps - Jethro Tull

The middle lane has trapped my car 

in red-light claustrophobia. 

I slip the shackles, cut the rope --- 

stand naked with a telescope 

as the cat walks alone 

under a big sky. 

Against the dark so thin and white --- 

gonna be a big sky night.

Miss Galileo, come with me 

and view the new Astronomy. 

Black hole dressing on salad plate --- 

quasar at the kissing gate. 

Now the cat, he walks alone 

under a big sky. 

Umbrella dome pin-pricked in lights --- 

gonna be a big sky night. 

My spectacles, my white lab coat --- 

my coffee, thermos and my notes. 

I pat my pockets. I got the keys 

to the secrets of the observatory. 

And closing the door, 

I feel a new dawn 

as the darker slides align --- 

you to yours and me to mine. 

Photos 

And now you stand, assisting me --- 

I can touch what I can see, see, see. 

I look in wonder, I feel no shame --- 

see the consequences of the game. 

Expand the universe. 

Head for the Big Bang. 

Reach for my switch and shout --- 

gonna turn the big sky out. 

There's got to be astronomy. 

Astronomy.
