New Physics Rant Lyrics - Julian Lennon

Because of things remembered 

Nothing changes, we simply follow 

Rhythms that are distant echoes 

Ancestors turning in their sleep 

Silhouetted on the future 

Playful figures that cut across the winking eye 

Of God's projector 

A partial eclipse of the original light 

That emanates in all directions 

So the darkness isn't pierced 

But rather forced to retreat 

Pushed out by its own internal explosion 

The screen of God's movie is time expanding 

And every atom is a solid globular mirror 

In which his grotesque anamorphic grin 

Splits the darkness 

Everywhere our world's expanding 

Journey's through the soul 

Past all thoughts and understanding 

Science or control 

Looking to the future is looking at the past 

In whichever direction you happen to face 

You were forward, and I was slipping back 

In the time it takes for the light of the stars to stir 

The retina, rods and cones 

History's in the beholder's eye 

Fait accompli 

Dans un outre androit 

The further away we are, the farther back we see, unless 

We could gaze instantly across the sound 

Where, moored like ships, planets anchored, swing and sway 

Golden barges laden down with mists and frozen crystals, dancing away 

Everywhere our world's expanding 

Journey's through the soul 

Past all thoughts and understanding 

Science or control 

Everywhere our world's expanding 

Journey's through the soul 

Past all thoughts and understanding 

Science or control 

Everywhere our world's expanding 

Journey's through the soul 

Past all thoughts and understanding 

Science or control
