Newton's Hopeless Marriage
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.
(R. Pollard)
He went running 'round the streets
And never thought of anyone else
With his laws of gravity
And all the things that he had pretended he knew
And everything that ever went down in the world
It was his marriage to the Earth
And solid land
Newton - have you thought of a plan?
Newton - Have you ever had command?
I saw him once in the streets
Thinking he was some kind of big shot subordinate
Plausing out the purposes that were ever tasked upon them
His artwork was phenomenal
His scientific programs were unusual
Newton - are you ever gonna have a purpose?
Newton - this is you chance to change
A task force copulation emptied
Newton, Newton
What goes up must come down
An object in motion will remain in motion
Until acted upon by another force
That is, unless of course
Newton, you gotta change it
You gotta rearrange it
