"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
