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 goin' 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 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'll deny it was love   She will say, Jim, this was 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 silver lake      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 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 doomed and hopeless as a suicide pact      Well, 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 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
