Astronomy Domine Lyrics
[Intro: Peter Jenner]
“Moon in twelve thousand
… one … Scorpio … braving the skies …
Libra … Portalia … Mao … Lapintin … Roscoe Thomas …
Pluto was not discovered until 1930
… nine two three select …
Mars is in conjunction with a fixed star of
… reduce, execute now if possible …”
[Verse 1: Richard Wright & Syd Barrett]
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue
You once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon, Miranda, and Titania
Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Richard Wright & Syd Barrett]
Blinding signs flap
Flicker, flicker, flicker, blam
Pow, pow
Stairway scare Dan Dare, who’s there?
[Verse 3: Syd Barrett & Syd Barrett & Richard Wright]
Lime and limpid green, the sound surrounds
The icy waters under—
Lime and limpid green, the sound surrounds
The icy waters underground
