The Universe Songtext
von Beth Nielsen Chapman

All the whacked-out wonders of the modern world
Criss-crossed high-tech telephone lines
Wound all ′round our beautiful Mother Earth
Great big ball of electrical twine

We got it all hooked up, long as the sun stays plugged
We'll be soaking up the megahertz
Teaming with creatures and features, that take us through outer space
Swirling in orbits and circles and cycles that orchestrate the universe

Way down yonder over in Africa (way down)
Deep in those indigenous tribes (deep down)
Something tells them something has happened here (something)
Ancient bones are pickin′ up vibes (ancient)


And when the ozone hole goes by
The wild, the beast stop grazing and the jungle stirs
Lions and tigers and rhinos and zebras and pachyderms
Trapped in the forces and synchronistic consequences of the universe

One song in all of us
Sweet sound of stardust

Schools of whales in separate hemispheres
Thirteen thousand miles apart
Sing one song that changes from year to year
God knows how they know it by heart

Oh well, it blows my mind, the way it's all designed so perfectly unrehearsed
Black holes that suck up the stuff that the quasars regurgitate
Galaxies flying and dipping and diving to celebrate the universe
The universe, the universe
