Dark Matter
Andrew Bird
When I was just a little boy
I threw away all of my action toys
While I became obsessed with
Operation
With hearts and minds and certain glands
You gotta learn to keep a steady hand
And thus began my morbid
Fascination
Tore the spines out of all of my self-help books
Got myself a gun that not only shoots but looks
So real
Yeah, it shoots through steel
With rays of dark matter
Rays of dark matter, oh no
Do you wonder where the self resides
Is it in your head or between your sides
And who will be the one who will decide
Its true location
Does the thought of all this red and black
Thought of tounges that tasted bad
Fill you with the naus-eaus-eaus-elation
There's a noose around our necks made of DNA
And every day, it's geting tighter no matter what we do or say
And you can shoot right through with rays of dark matter
Just before they kick up
And kick out the ladder
Oh, rays of dark matter
Rays of dark matter
Like something catches fire
Do you wonder where the self resides
Is it in your head or between tour sides
And who will be the one who will decide
Its true location
