Robyn Hitchcock - Star Of Venus lyrics

You must have seen it coming A long long time ago The ship of all your feelings Shipwrecked in one go What do you think about, at night when the river comes in? You must have seen it coming You must have bit your lip First the red light Then the green light Then the whole damn ship What do you think about, at night when the river comes in? Does it make you cry? Beneath the star of Venus The motorcade is waiting It's waited all your life The driver's dead His bony arm Around the bones of his wife And that's true love: they've still got the radio on Does it make you cry Does it make you cry Does it make you cry? The giant fossil bugs Are on the fossil trees Exercise your powers You'll be one of these What do you think about, at night when the river comes in Does it make you cry Does it make you cry Does it make you cry? Beneath the star of Venus
