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
