| The universe is runnin' away
|
| I heard it on the news just the other day
|
| There’s this new stuff called dark energy
|
| We can’t measure and we can’t see
|
| It’s some elemental mystery
|
| Train that we can’t catch
|
| But our heads are in the oven
|
| And somebody’s 'bout to strike a match
|
| Meanwhile back on our big round ball
|
| Things are getting serious as cholesterol

| Permutations, calculations,
|
| Greedy piggies at the trough

|

|
| the hula hoop
|
| Maybe it’s all too simple
|
| For our brains to figure it out
|
| What if the hokey pokey
|
| Is all it really is about |
