Lyrics

 [Fables of the Reconstruction]

"It's a Man Ray kind of sky"
The line [...] refers to that artist's work, Observatory Time: The Lovers [ICFTS] * The notable thing about the sky in The Lovers is that there's a big pair of lips in it. [Chris Piuma]


It's a Man Ray kind of sky.
"L'heure de l'observatoire, les amoureux"
by Man Ray, 1934.

"Reason had harnessed the tame"
See also Little America. [Ron Henry]
