| That’s why
|
| Why people fall in love
|
| Trains collide on a regular basis
|
| Stars explode and fireworks don’t
|
| A sea runs dry and a moon leaves its orbit
|
| And we’re on this one thinking it won’t
|
| True to form our vision of order
|
| Was cloud-free up until
|
| A certain Mr. Murphy done us the dirty
|
| Served us up a bitter pill
|
| Again and again the laws of nature prove laws aren’t enough
|
| And then the voice of reason flies off the deep-end
|
| That’s why people fall in love
|
| Who’s the dudes who’s leaking the secrets?
|
| Astronauts and heretics
|
| Archimedes just couldn’t keep it
|
| And look what happened to the Greeks
|
| Uri Gagarin told Joe Stalin
|
| But Joe’s not telling me
|
| And Dicky Burton’s final curtain
|
| Fell before he spilled the beans
|
| Albert Einstein nailed Space/Time
|
| But the wild thing had him stumped
|
| Al baby, two and two makes five and a quarter
|
| That’s why people fall in love
|
| And our lives are a grain of sand
|
| Snack-time for a moonbeam
|
| And tonight is a perfect night
|
| To dissolve in this ocean of lights
|
| And fall in love
|
| Trains collide on a regular basis
|
| Stars explode and fireworks don’t
|
| A sea runs dry and a moon leaves its orbit
|
| And we’re on this one hoping it won’t
|
| I’ve been all around this flat old Earth
|
| And I still ain’t got it sussed
|
| But I guess some nights the universe runs circles around us
|
| That’s why people fall in love
|
| That’s why
|
| Why people fall in love |
