Astronomy 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
