The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place?
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reasons tend to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds, yeah
Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away...
Yea, gone away
Ah, come Susie dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you'll want to know where winds come from
Well, it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there you know
At the four winds bar, mm, yeah
Yeah
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors locked, ten windows barred
One door left to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey!
Hey! Yeah!
Hey! Yeah!
Hey!
Ooh, in hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Yes, the light that never, never warms
Yes, the light that never, never warms
Never warms, never warms
The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place?
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
Would find themselves at four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Call me Desdenova, eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog, fixed and consequent
Astronomy - a star
Astronomy - a star
Astronomy (astronomy) - a star, yeah
Astronomy - a star

Review about Astronomy Love metallica | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/09
This is why metallica are considered titans in the rock world! There isn't a single song by them or they have covered that I haven't liked! I think the boc would be proud that there work has been immortalized through metallica! Let's hope other musicians can take a leaf out of boc's and metallica's book and write inspiring songs such as this!! Steve Surrey England
Definition of the name METALLICA | Reviewer: Gunnman | 7/16/09
This song should have been an original music from METALLICA cause this guys r THE best band on this earth. They did an amazing job with this cover and hope to see more from them like this one... i can still feel the creeps everytime i listen to this song. METALLICA really r #1 and that is why i love'em so much... Keep up the good work with the new album DEATH MAGNETIC.
P.S. They r back guys... the truly METALLICA r back with us.
Great song!i like the vibe of the song more in this one than the original...kirk's solo at the end was awesome,it would have been better if they wouldn't make it fade away...but i like it so much that i listen to it till the end...

i just want to say that if metallica produces songs like this then no one will ever be in their competition.man look at the music.feels like heaven.divine.all i can say is that the ending could have been better.i think metallica should make more rock,hard rock and metal songs(like damage inc. fade to black).
Loved it for years | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/22/09
Loved this song back when I was in high school... which was when Garage Inc first came out and a bunch of Metallica lovers at my school called me traitor... This song bridged that gap... Thank you Metallica for the years of proving that rock is still one of the best forms of expression ;)
i've never had paid any atention on this track before, got today listen to mandatory metallica and realized how great this tune is!! so fucking underrated by everyone. Great cover!!! one of the best cover them ever played!! fuck how good this tune is!!! love Tallica!! Much love from Brazil!!
It's good to be 40 years of age and still discover great tunes such as this. BOC never struck me as a band with this kind of imagination. Someone in Metallica loved this song since his adolescence and no doubt would turn on whoever would listen to this forgotten song. I'm glad they covered it. Thank you Metallica.
Great work! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/14/07
As a diehard BOC fan....this is a great version. James just needs to use a laser at the end when he sings Astronomy like BOC's Eric Bloom did back in the day. Love Kirk's guitar work as he does justice with Buck's guitar work (BOC's underrated guitarist), not an easy feat.
Not Bad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/9/07
I usually stick the original and this one is no exception. Personally, I still like the BOC version better, but the Metallica version still kicks ass itself. Theyre probably the only band that can do an entire album of covers and not screw it up. Still a great job by Metallica though.
Better than the original from a diehard BOC fan | Reviewer: Allen Blatter | 9/25/07
This cover is better than the original. An amazing claim to make since the original is outstanding. The metallica sound really adds to the song...
