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 deny it was love

She'll say Jim -- I think it's 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 as 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
