Why Does the Sun Really Shine? Songtext
von They Might Be Giants

The sun is a miasma
Of incandescent plasma
The sun′s not simply made out of gas
No, no, no

The sun is a quagmire
It's not made of fire
Forget what you′ve been told in the past

(Plasma!)
Electrons are free
(Plasma!)
A fourth state of matter
Not gas, not liquid, not solid


The sun is no red dwarf
I hope it never morphs
Into some supernova'd collapsed orb
Orb, orb, orb

The sun is a miasma
Of incandescent plasma
I forget what I was told by myself
Elf, elf, elf

(Plasma!)
Electrons are free
(Plasma!)
A fourth state of matter
Not gas, not liquid, not solid

(Plasma!)
Forget that song
(Plasma!)
They got it wrong
That thesis has been rendered invalid
