Dark Matter

Breakfast at the Adlon
My rabbit felt hat on
Papers filled with clones and bombings
Ugly oragami
DNA is our rag doll
Mammoths and Neanderthals
On welfare and Adderall
Plutonium at the shopping mall
Now the bees speak Chinese and
The moon's made of American cheese

Wake me in a thousand years
When computers can shed tears
Do I have to die before I see
The pigs fly and the fat lady sing

Water's more precious than gold
Even jokes never get old
There's no need to fear laugh lines
Latex skin cannot feel time
Vending machines for memories
Bubblegum and tabloid dreams

Dark matter and white noise seem
Like ebony and ivory
After all the entropy
We look like black and white movies

Wake me in a thousand years
When computers can shed tears
Do I have to die before I see
The pigs fly and the fat lady sing

Arms and legs in thrift stores
Celebrity sweat sold to the poor
Choose more than your baby's name
Liz Taylor's eyes
And Hawking's brain
If you've forgotten how to feel
4DTV can make it real

Dark matter and white noise seem
Like ebony and ivory
After all the entropy
We look like black and white movies

Wake me in a thousand years
When computers can shed tears
Do I have to die before I see
The pigs fly and the fat lady sing
