giant target - the core lyrics
the sun is old, a lantern to the earth
but now i’m told there’s a limit to its burn
as the sun grows cold it gets a little brisk
so it’s time to find a fix
my first instinct was to reignite the orb
with some sort of bomb that it might absorb
but the chances of it blowing us to bits
seemed too much a risk to take
so what now, dear brain?
well we could find another sun, and pull it very near
but it’s much too hot and would burn the rope, i fear
maybe move off earth, but all our stuff is here
and it’s too much stuff to take
so what now, dear brain?
we could drench the moon in a ton of gasoline
then we’ll strike a match, make the sun from scratch
well it might get hot, but it also might not
and my breath begins to freeze
we could split the earth with a surgical slice
then divide the halves with a special device
we’ll scoop out the core like an avocado seed
and then float it up on a cosmic breeze
as the core ascends i can feel my toes again
everything is fine, we were just in time
as my skin is warmed, i stare up at the core
and it glows like my heart in the sky
