lirik lagu jhyde - when i heard the learn'd astronomer

[chorus]
when i heard the learn’d astronomer
he told me what he found
taught us all about the stars
and no one dared to make a sound
he wouldn’t know that he was sinking
’till he’d already been drowned
i don’t want to be there when it all
comes crashing to the ground

[verse 1]
placing books stacked up on the table
like that’s how you’re gonna go far
why should i place my trust in men whose experience
is drawing pictures of stars?
they clap along as if his words are astounding
but i guess that i’m not impressed
i ponder on my lifе, and death and my sleep, and stars
the things i know i know best

[pre~chorus]
tanglеd up in his pride
he wouldn’t know if he’d died
’till his obituary took him by the hands as his guide
i’ve seen the view from outside
the planets crash and collide
if moons grow bigger than you how do you still know you’re alive?
meteorites turn to dust
his philosophy, a bust
are these the people i should idolize, the ones i should trust?
ideas filled with disgust
it’s immoral and unjust
one star review for ~
[chorus}
when i heard the learn’d astronomer
he called out with delight
pointed at the maps and figures
glasses glistening in the light
but there was so much more so know
and only just out of his sight
i found comfort in the cold
staring in silence at the night

{verse 2]
always making love with his ego
‘cos he fell out of love with the world
and does he think he’s won some kind of achievement
winning fights with a little girl?
i know he’ll go out drowning in all his papers
cited sources on his final breath
and they’ll forget my name, etched out over the ages
but i won’t give in until my death

[pre~chorus]
gliding over us all
stentorious and so tall
has no precautions cos he never ever thought he could fall
too many words to recall
essays in funeral halls
was that his answer, did he ever get the call?
[chorus]
when i heard the learn’d astronomer
he told me what he found
taught us all about the stars
and no one dared to make a sound
he wouldn’t know that he was sinking
’till he’d already been drowned
i don’t want to be there when it all
comes crashing to the ground

[outro]
i don’t wanna be there
when it all comes crashing to the ground
