Astronomy Dominé 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

Blinding signs flap
Flicker, flicker, flicker, blam
Pow, pow

[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
