Puma
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you see particles in the air?
Unguided particles in the air
Do you see particles in the air?
Nobody know notices, nobody cares, oh
Don't try to tell her she's less feline than human
Cause it gives rise to the rumor she’s a girl, and not a puma
And light that shines is not a pearl, it's just a tumor
She was radioactive for seven days
How I wanted to be holding her anyways
But the doctors, they told me to stay away
Due to flying neutrinos and the gamma rays, oh
Do you see particles?
Unguided particles
Particles
Don't try to tell her she's less feline than human
Cause it gives rise to the rumor she’s a girl, and not a puma
Don't try to tell her she's a girl, that's just a rumor
And she was radioactive for seven days
How I wanted to be holding her anyway
But the doctors, they told me to stay away
Due to flying neutrinos and the gamma rays
She was radioactive for seven days
How I wanted to be holding her anyway
But the doctors, they told me, just stay away
Due to flying neutrinos and the gamma rays
