That's Why People Fall In Love Lyrics - Astronauts & Heretics - Thomas Dolby

That's why 

Why people fall in love 

Trains collide on a regular basis 

Stars explode and fireworks don't 

A sea runs dry and a moon leaves its orbit 

And we're on this one thinking it won't 

True to form our vision of order 

Was cloud-free up until 

A certain Mr. Murphy done us the dirty 

Served us up a bitter pill 

Again and again the laws of nature prove laws aren't enough 

And then the voice of reason flies off the deep-end 

That's why people fall in love 

Who's the dudes who's leaking the secrets? 

Astronauts and heretics 

Archimedes just couldn't keep it 

And look what happened to the Greeks 

Uri Gagarin told Joe Stalin 

But Joe's not telling me 

And Dicky Burton's final curtain 

Fell before he spilled the beans 

Albert Einstein nailed Space/Time 

But the wild thing had him stumped 

Al baby, two and two makes five and a quarter 

That's why people fall in love 

And our lives are a grain of sand 

Snack-time for a moonbeam 

And tonight is a perfect night 

To dissolve in this ocean of lights 

And fall in love
