Lyrics
The Uncertainty Principle
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.
8:03 this morning
On his daily visit to the Lighthouse
The Teacher is stunned at what he finds
The Prodigy is slumped in a corner, totally unresponsive
His hand clutching a crumpled note
The Teacher reads the note and immediately phones the Girl
Who rushes over to the lighthouse
When she arrives, the Teacher can hear her hurriedly saying goodbye
To someone as she bursts into the room
Fumbling to put away her phone
Her eyes are already red from crying
But a flood of new tears erupts when she sees the Prodigy
She turns to the Teacher to find out what happened
[Teacher]
His mind took flight
And his eyes have lost their light
All we have to go on is a note
They changed the world last night
Working together, side by side
His father is the only one who knows
[Girl]
You haven't been told?
That was his mother on the phone
There was a tragedy last night
His father can't have been here
It had to be some ghostly dream
For at the fall of day he took his life!
