lyrics

I knew my place on the cosmic grid
Those three dimensions were more than I needed
I was quite happy with old (x), (y), (z)
Then that (t) vector came and scunnered me
In what direction does time’s arrow flow
That’s the piper we can’t help but follow

We are travellers in space and time
Albert saw curves in Issac’s straight lines
Tick tock baby, c’mon let’s prove
That time slows down the faster you move

There’s no constant we can identify
Beyond entropy and the speed of light
The way of spacetime is a little strange
Bend it enough and you’re in yesterday
Pay no heed to what old Delmore said
Time is just a concept in our heads

We are travellers in space and time
Albert saw curves in Issac’s straight lines
Tick tock baby, c’mon let’s prove
That time slows down the faster you move

Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe
Copernicus, Hubble, Galileo all say
We are travellers in space and time
Albert saw curves in Issac’s straight lines
Tick tock baby, c’mon let’s prove
That time slows down the faster you move
