Tim Minchin - The Donnie Darko Song lyrics

So there's this kid called Donnie Darko
He's a schizophrenic teen
And this aeroplane engine falls
Through his roof
And lands where he's just been
But, it's cool cos he's out sleepwalking
As is his habit
Engaged in apocalyptic discourse with
This freaky six-foot rabbit

You see our Donnie on reality
Doesn't have a firm hold
The rabbit teaches him about
Time travel and wormholes
He burns down Patrick Swayze's house 'cause
The rabbit tells him to
He shags a chick called Gretchen and the
Rabbit shows him what to do
They throw a wicked Halloween party
With 80's tunes and beer

Then they hop on their bikes and ride through
The night and that's when things get weird
The rabbit's drunk behind the wheel
And Gretchen cops a car-full
So Donnie takes out his gun and
Shoots the rabbit through the eyeball
Then he carries his girlfriend's body up
The hill above his town
And watches as the parallel universe he's
Been living in tumbles down

Then using telekinesis he rips an
Engine off this plane
And is sucked back through the wormhole and
He's back at the beginning again
So when the jet comes through the ceiling
He's tucked up in his bed
And life is back to normal
Except that Donnie Darko's dead

This film's an examination of time
And space and psychosis
And a very good example of
Why they developed myxomatosis
