Lyrics of the Day

Well there's one thing Mama, I think you should know...
It is not love that makes the flowers grow,
But a complex electron transfer process known as photosynthesis when chlorophyll reacts with the light of day.
But since you're gone, the light has gone away.

Oh there's one more thing Mama, I think that you'll find
It is not love that makes the stars shine.
But the spontaneous combustion of super-heated and super-condensed gasses in the process known as fusion that creates new elements when the time is right...
Since you're gone, stars don't shine so bright.

Oh there's another thing Mama, I think I should confide...
It is not love that'll turn the tide
But the net difference in the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon as it is acted out upon the waves,
But since you're gone, I feel washed away.

I could have been a mathematician, studied rockets for a living.
Would've worked out better in the end.
But to get more specific I'd break every law of physics to bring you back to me again

Well there's one more thing, I'll tell you if I can...
It is not love, that makes a non-stick frying pan
But a top-secret, trademarked, conglomerated, most likely carcinogenic, polyurethane compound spread in a micro-thin substance, over a negatively charged layer of aluminum, copper, iron, lead, VHS, FYI, apple pie, FBI, and some other elements too....

Since you're gone, I wish I'd stuck to you
