[They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Really Shine? lyrics]
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) Fourth state of matter
Not gas, not liquid, not solid
The sun isn't a red dwarf
I hope it never morphs
Into a 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) 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
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) Fourth state of matter
Not gas, not liquid, not solid
The sun isn't a red dwarf
I hope it never morphs
Into a 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) 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
