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

(1stx )

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

(1stx )

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

 And it was doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact

Solo

2x

 But at least I was calm

(1stx )

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

 At least I managed to stay calm
