All the fools who await your return
May we tell them the truth
There’s no way you can turn back the clock
Never cling to your youth
How unfortunate it must have been
Life is only a race
You’re so old that it might take a crane
Just to lift back your face
Scientific, so scientific
Scientific, so scientific
But you were walking on glass
So unstable we bolt with the horse
Setting music to muscle
And the fallers who litter the course
As we run to the castle
Scientific, so scientific
Scientific, so scientific
But you were walking on glass
Careful you’re walking on glass
You’re walking on glass
Careful you’re walking on glass
When you say that the sun does not move
Did it show you the answer
When the ships do not fall off the world
Does it mean there’s a wall there
(He said the sun does not move)
Careful (He could be walking on glass)
He could see that the earth was a mover
And the sun was a mother
He could see that the earth was a mover
And the sun was a mother
But he was walking on glass
