Story Behind The Song

Saw Stephen Hawking on Larry King making sense when the world had gone crazy.

Song Description

Stephen Hawking is called upon to speak to god and satan when judgment day comes for the singer.

Lyrics

Hey, Steve Hawking
Would you do the talking
When god comes to carry me away
Tell her that I'm able
Sit down at the table
And type out all the words you have to say

Hey, Steve Hawking
Could you do the talking
When satan comes to lay claim to my life
Don't sell him my soul
Just any old black hole
In fact, could you let him take my wife

I always loved science
I always loved physics
I know just how you feel
But words don't come easy
To quarks like us
And maybe you're smarter than me

Hey, Steve Hawking
Please stop all your mocking
My white dwarves, my red giants and my stars
It's just I'm from the Mid-West
A physicist would know best
Inertia can keep you stuck in bars

I always loved science
I always loved physics
I know just how you feel
But words don't come easy
To quarks like us
And maybe you're smarter than me

So, Steve Hawking
I guess I'll just stop talking
Please type out the things I want to hear
Say the world's not ending
Tell me time's not bending
I promise you I'll set aside my fear

In fact, would you join me for a beer?
