The memory of a molecule
Is the memory of the universe
Is the memory of you and I
Is the memory of all of us (you see)
And when our sun goes supernova
Our atoms will fuse into one
And when our sun goes supernova
You and I will become one
We will burn forever
Atoms fused together
We are made of color
Loving one another
We will float together
Memories of color
We will burn forever
Loving one another

Tonight
I’m dreaming tonight
Back where I belong
The lights shining down
I’m finally home
And everything’s right
And everyone’s there
The heat from the lights
The chill Boston air
My feet in the grass
I ready my stance
I wait for your voice
And practice my swings
There’s still one out left
Then I’ll get my bat
I scan through the crowd
To see you looking back
I’ve dreamed this before
I know how it ends
There’s still one out left
As the ball comes my way
But I’m looking at you
And then I awake
I've dreamed this before
I know how it ends
With a tin can on my spine
Will you stick the knife in my neck?
Tiny pieces spray the room
Will you put a crack in my head?
And if I came back to you
Would you swing the wrench at my head?
With a tin can on my spine
Will you stick the knife in my neck?
And if I came back to you
Would you swing the wrench at my head?

We are born from the stars
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
The cosmos lies deep within us to show itself
We are born from the stars
Our atoms forged from the stars
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
The cosmos lies deep within us to show itself

Misinterpreted intentions
Space is where you'll find me floating 'round
Forever going nowhere
All thanks to my idiot son
Past the end of realization
It's gotten real lonely round the sun
Burst forward past mistaken
I’ll still be here when everyone's gone
Temporary insanity
Has given me sanctuary
Interstellar immortality
Made four shadows
East forever
Span the lines into infinity
How can I achieve
Past greatness
With only a head just floating round
No fishing
No 400
No last inning for a curtain call
Radio waves
Of prostration
Of a past of all the centuries gone
Temporary insanity
Has given me sanctuary
Interstellar immortality

The love burns bright in eyes
The understanding mute
Meaningful memory lies
In us long overdue
The stars will lead us on
When ground no longer bears
The weight of bodies gone
In supernovas glare
I'd like to touch your hand
But I'm left with just a head
Bumbling and tongue tied
The rest of the body dead
But who really needs a heart
When duties will prevail
Passions are wasted on
A simple foolish tale
Can you hear me tuning in to you?

Five years to war
In the prime of my life
Now it's only
For the memory
Four shadows east
Stretching infinitely
Now it's only
In the memory
Frozen is not
What I had in mind
But at least I
Won Triple Crown
We are echoing
How long do I
Have to float along
Til I'm picked up
And unfrozen
Skill in my head
But no hands to hold
So I'll never
Hit .400
Or walk on the fields
Or make love to one
Of the beings
Who've redeemed me
I've never asked
For eternal life
Just the memory
Of your body

I remember you boys
Seductive cleavage speaks
The Yuengling here is cheap
The way to end the week
The long stem cools the smoke
And winds blow through the pines
Waters rushing by
From last nights raining soak
Enlightenment is reached
In waxing fireside
Not everyone can be
As right as us tonight
The moths have killed the oaks
But fresh growth spring up new
10 years of fire's smoke
Will spirits be renewed
And I have heard your voice
From hundred miles tonight
Not everyone can be
As right as us tonight

Einstein's Ghost

Take me where we used to go
We can watch the lake explode
Let the shock wash over us,
Lying naked in the grass.
A flash, a flash and clouds will obscure us;
Back there where we used to go,
Where we could watch the lake explode
And fill the sky with ghosts of truth
While blood spills from the mouths of youth
Whose skin fall off in piles.
Let it fall for miles,
Loving all the while
Take me where we used to go
We can watch the lake explode
Let the shock wash over us,
Lying naked in the grass.
That lake where we used to go,
With nothing left behind us
Save for cattle, blind and aimless
That stagger through the fields
Toothless, burned, and peeled,
Where we can watch the lake explode
And make love in the afterglow.
Take me where we used to go
We can watch the lake explode
Let the shock wash over us,
Lying naked in the grass.
No fish in the boiling river,
Nothing left for dinner,
Take me where we used to go
Just you and me and Einstein's ghost
To form a hallowed, holy host,
Just like the one we used to know.

Eventually the Universe stops expanding.
The suns having swollen, the planets cremated
Their shapes remain, specters of behemoths
I remain in this galaxy of ashes,
The last light well past forgotten.
And all is still,
The grand, outward voyage finished
We all slumber: the husks of planets,
The ghosts of time
The ghost of you and I
This consciousness. This is how time ends.
In silence and in stillness, and in such darkness.
The slightest stir would ripple the Universe
Into dust.
Was there but one breath to stir,
I would that it be yours
Could I but pull the universe upon itself
To explode again with you.
(The memory of a molecule is the memory of universe is the memory of you and I is the memory of all of us)
(We are born from the stars)
(We will float together, memories of color, we will burn forever, loving one another)
