Dark Matter

DARK MATTER

I’m wakin’ in the mornin’ to a big surprise
That big ole sun tryin’ to rise
But there’s something’ weird goin’ on around town
Every time it goes up it just comes back down
So I roll up my sleeves and jump right in
Dark matter coming on me again

Let me guess, I can figure it out
You put a ship in a bottle now you can’t get it out
The eye of a needle and a 2 by 4
Seems like nothin’ really fits together anymore
It’s a mess, and I know what to do
Dark matter, I’m depending on you

Paul Revere did a midnight ride
Meeting’ Emma Goldman by the riverside
It was almost a great and a glorious day
But they couldn’t remember what they were supposed to say
So they took out their guitars and they started to sing
Dark matter gettin’ into everything

Stephen Hawking said to Neil deGrasse
“This theoretical stuff is a pain in the ass”
Says Neil, “What are you tryin' to say?”
and Steve says, “I’ll get back to you later today.
It’s just that it would make more sense
If dark matter would just get off the fence”

Just because you can’t see it
Does that mean it isn’t there
Dark matter everywhere

I fell in love with a friend of mine
She was walkin’ on a tight rope line
And I was crawlin’ on my hands and knees
We ran into each other, said “Excuse me please.
Do I know you? Was this meant to be?
Or is this just dark matter messin’ around with me?”

I took a leap and I went so high
I blew a hole right through the sky
And I swam like a fish in ethereal brine
Till I left the whole damn solar system behind
You ask me why I’m leavin’ I’ll try to make it clear
There’s just too much dark matter around here
