Lyrics Interference Patterns - Van Der Graaf Generator

Interference Patterns

All that we see illusory, every assumption based on blind faith alone
On with the motley, bring it home
Everything’s formed from particles, all that you see is a construction of waves
Hold onto both thoughts under general relativity, the cradle connected to the
grave
Luminous aether dissipates, Michelson-Morley with a point to disprove
Millikan oil drops and the cargo-cult science evaporates, improbable physics on
the move
Nearer and nearer, it’s clear that in interference
What happens to patterns when matter shatters
Is wantonly quantum and nature’s got some surprises in store right now
All that we are illusory, every observance based on physical law
Only a fool would think us ready to face with certainty all that our future’s
heading for
Nearer and nearer, it’s clearer, we’re only here for an eyeblink,
a psychic mind trick
The proofs that we use are at best projections but let’s hope they’ll see us
through
The interference patterns help us to know the gap between a simple «yes» and a «no»
The heart-felt beat that gets us ready to go
And, as above, we’ll find out what is below the interference patterns
