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.
