"Constellation Of The Heart"
The Red Shoes
Written by Kate Bush
- We take all the telescopes
- And we turn them inside out
- And we point them away from the big sky
- Put your eye right up to the glass, now
- And here we'll find the constellation of the heart
- Steer your life by these stars
- On the unconditional chance
- 'Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance
- This is the constellation of the heart
- We take all the telescopes
- And we turn them inside out
- And we point them away from the big sky
- Put your eye right up to the glass, now
- And here we'll find the constellation of the heart
- The constellation of the heart
- The constellation of the heart
- We take all the telescopes
- And we turn them inside out
- And we point them away from the big sky
- Put your eye right up to the glass, now
- And here we'll find the constellation of the heart
- The constellation of the heart
- The constellation of the heart
-
- Well we think you'd better wake up capt'n
- There's something happen'n up ahead
- We've never seen anything like it
- We've never seen anything like it before
- I want a full report
-
- That's it
- What do you mean, "That's it?"
-
- That's all you get
- You'd better do something 'bout it
- What am I supposed to do about it?
-
- We don't know, but you can't run away from it
- Maybe you'd better face it
- I can't do that
-
- C'mon face it!
- I can't do that
-
- C'mon, c'mon face it
- What am I gonna do?
- It is gonna hurt, it is gonna hurt me bad?
- Ooh here's the constellation of the heart
-
- Who said anything about it hurting?
- It's gonna be beautiful
- It's gonna be wonderful
- It's gonna be paradise
- (Just being alive, it can really hurt...)
- Ooh find me the man with the ladder
- And he might lift me up to the stars
- (Without the pain there'd be no learning
- Without the hurting we'd never change.)
- Oooh and if you see the woman with the key
- I hear she's opening up the doors to Heaven
- Oh and here comes the man with the stick
- He said he'd fish me out of the moon
- Ohoh here's the constellation of the heart
- It is the constellation of the heart
- Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart
