See the particles bouncing In a deadly blaze Like a fly on a windshield Trapped in a purple haze Kinetic energy rising To a billion degrees It's getting so dark With the binary mergers And the giant branch Like a whirling snowflake In an avalanche You could do the math now And calculate The size of the spark There's my firstborn talking All black holes, white dwarfs Particles colliding And merging in stars There's my firstborn talking Gravitational waves Neutron stars exploding And meeting their graves On a distant planet A lot of lightyears away We made the galaxy tremble Until we stopped to say How could we be so foolish In our stubborn ways And we put out the spark There's my firstborn talking Space and time rewind She's got more than a handful Dimensions in mind There's my firstborn talking Astrophysics and art How I love that girl With all of my heart There's my firstborn talking Gravitational waves Neutron stars exploding And meeting their graves There's my firstborn talking Astrophysics and art How I love that girl With all of my heart
