The universe is expanding
It’s flying apart at the speed of light
It’s way beyond all understanding
At least it’s way beyond mine tonight
We live on the skin of a bubble
It stretches and grows like a toy balloon
And I think that’s the source of my trouble
Been light years apart since this afternoon
Lost in space, look how we’re dressed
It’s obvious we’re powerless
Don’t blame yourself, don’t get depressed
Different galaxies, the same address
Stars burn and then die in the silence
Whenever we speak on the telephone
I casually observe the violence
I quietly ask what time you’ll be home
I’m getting a good education
Know more than I want about entropy
The black holes in our conversation
Are multiplying exponentially
