lyrics

Verse 1:
She came to life as a Capricorn
Proximal wife of a cold December born Sagitarius,
Ripe with wandering lust, he chased her mermaid thighs
Through the sky each dusk...

And her bare heart shivered in the winter light
When the watery stars did align one night
But Aquarius, promising a holy grail
Bore only broken dreams in his empty pail

Chorus:
Be my constellation, temporary installation
I will wait so patiently, one bright month is all I need
You can count the lucky stars in me

Verse 2:
I read the signs on an August day
that said a new love truly must be bound my way
But, dear reader, don’t let signs lead you astray
Gentle Virgo – oh I always knew you'd never stay

And what became of our dear dejected Capricorn?
She’d laid no claim to the winter months whence she was bourne
Wandered far, til her stars scattered and her cloak was torn
Tired and worn, found a summer sky where weather was more patient

Bridge:
Settled down between a lion and crustacean
Leo purred into her ear, “We’re so elated
to have you here upon our beach,
you lovely, lonely goat, it’s all in reach
The orgiastic break you seek
You won’t be sorry, come be free
Dear Cap, you only needed a vacation

Verse 3:
She settled down under Cancer’s moon
On a sandy beach in sleepy summer union
Seems hilarious that she’d worried even for a day
Lay back, rest that uneasy fishtail in the waves
And my dear…

Chorus x 2
