"Constellations"
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are
There's a million little lights when the sky turns black tonight
Are there patterns in our skies, are patterns only in our eyes?
Or is a constellation, just a constellation?
Is a constellation, just a consolation?
Wrinkle, wrinkle little scar, count the freckles on my arm
If freckles don't mean anything, does anything mean anything?
Or is a constellation, just a constellation?
Is a constellation, just a consolation?
We are twinkling stars resurrected
Just like twinkling stars we seem connected but I know that
A constellation is just a constellation
Constellation is just a consolation
There's a million little lights when the sky turns black tonight
Are there patterns in our skies, are patterns only in our eyes?
Or is a constellation, just a constellation?
Is a constellation, just a consolation?
Wrinkle, wrinkle little scar, count the freckles on my arm
If freckles don't mean anything, does anything mean anything?
Or is a constellation, just a constellation?
Is a constellation, just a consolation?
We are twinkling stars resurrected
Just like twinkling stars we seem connected but I know that
A constellation is just a constellation
Constellation is just a consolation
The science teacher I never had
Another one with great lyrics (but not as catchy):
"Red Shift"*
Spiral galaxies would turn in your eyes
When I came by with a small surprise
You loved all of my little quarks, so what went wrong?
Don’t superstring me along, come on
Was there a big bang that I just missed?
Did some explosion cause a redshift?
‘Cause you’re moving away from me but what did I do?
The universe is mostly empty space without you
Wave or particle, I can’t be both
So just say which way you like me most
I can be an experiment in your bedroom lab
To figure how the light we had went bad
[chorus]
I’ll build a collider and smash us to bits
To see what’s inside us, to see if we stick
‘Cause I will try anything this side of the Milky Way
To figure out why in the world you’re drifting away
[chorus x2]
When I came by with a small surprise

Don’t superstring me along, come on

The universe is mostly empty space without you

*Red shift is a term to describe wavelengths from light or electromagnet radiation being stretched (lower frequency) hence shifting to the red end of the spectrum. Cosmological redshift is evidence of an expanding universe.
