Song: horrible qualities / stuck to you
Well there’s one thing momma,
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.
since you’re gone, the light has gone away.
oh, there’s one more thing momma,
I think that you’re fine,
it is not love that makes the stars shine
but the spontaneous combustion of superheated super condensed gases and the process known as fusion that creates new elements when the time is right.
since your gone, the stars don’t shine so bright.
oh, there’s another thing momma,
I think that 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
since you’re gone, I feel washed away
I could a been a planetition to study rockets for a livin’ what a work out better in the end, but to get more specific, I’d break every law of physics to bring you back to me again…
But 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 carcinogenetic polyurethaneic compound spread 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.
