John Hiatt - Hangin' Around The Observatory Lyrics
Hangin' around the observatory.
We were waitin' to see the moon.
Well we thought that we was all gypsies,
Come to escape these lousy ruins.
It's bigger, Jack, that you or I.
Oh, it sees the stars, it sees the moon.
You might as well stay in the room.
Professor, Professor, I forgot how it looks.
Could I just take another peak?
Is there really a man who lives up there?
Is it all green cheese so to speak?
Well now listen boy. These are the facts.
And you are a speck on this crummy Earth,
And a dollar and a half is all you're worth.
Why did I come here?
Let all the tender scientist,
Get lost in poetry.
And let all these moist romantic guys,
Turn back to history.
Hangin' around the observatory.
Waitin' to see the moon.
Well we thought that we was gypsies
Come to escape these lousy ruins.

Dr John Hiatt😉
A million thanks for putting this song up on YouTube. I have it on CD but it's great to turn on my computer, hit a few keys, and hear it blasting through my little Sony speakers.
