LYRICS:
Up there's a sky
Up there's a sky full of myths
I'm Ptolemy, I wrote them down in a list
​
If you look high
And screw your eyes up a bit
You will see all the myths
​
Lyra's there
It was played by Orpheus
Pegasus and Perseus too
​
That one's a bull
That we call Taurus
That bull is Zeus
​
...
​
Over there
That lot are Cassiopeia
The Great Bear's up there too
​
Cos in the sky
The Greeks, we put all the myths
All our stories on view
​
...
​
Look up there
Everywhere, you see stars
Well, if the clouds are blown through
​
Up there's a sky
Up there's a sky full of myths
(Oh, yeah!) And the moon.
