The Centre of the Universe

from The Whole World is Telling Me Lies by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

On its axis every hour a thousand miles they reckon
Around the sun the globe it spins a hundred miles a second
Solar system’s flying sideways at half a million miles
Galaxy goes double that speed, you’re supposed to take it in your stride?

A giant planetarium covered in a dome
A Hollywood backdrop, much larger scale than the Truman Show
On a flat circle the south pole’s just ice around the edge
Sun and Moon rotate on a rod, lights at opposite ends

CHORUS
The Solar System and the Galaxy
Centre of the Universe
The Solar System and the Galaxy
Around you everything turns

Illuminati, Chemtrails, Elvis is Alive
Flat Earth was the last book on the shelf to try
You get to a level of education, the system’s in control
A teacher can’t say the Earth is flat if he wants to keep his job

A flat Earth merchandise bat smacks a rubber globe
Morrisey’s not a Flat Earther yet but there’s still hope
In our mother’s basements they claim we all live
We need our own dating sites now, it’s such a paradigm shift

CHORUS

Bridge
To be misunderstood and always feel alone
I will take you seriously, make you the star of the show

CHORUS

Centre of the Universe
Around you everything turns
