They Might Be Giants - Why Does The Sun Shine Lyrics
The sun is a mass of incandescent gasA gigantic nuclear furnaceWhere hydrogen is built into heliumAt a temperature of millions of degreesYo ho, its hot, the sun is notA place where we could liveBut here on earth thered be no lifeWithout the light it givesWe need its lightWe need its heatWe need its energyWithout the sun, without a doubtThered be no you and meThe sun is a mass of incandescent gasA gigantic nuclear furnaceWhere hydrogen is built into heliumAt a temperature of millions of degreesThe sun is hotIt is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.The sun is largeIf the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside. and yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.The sun is far awayAbout 93 million miles away, and thats why it looks so small.And even when its out of sightThe sun shines night and dayThe sun gives heatThe sun gives lightThe sunlight that we seeThe sunlight comes from our own sunsAtomic energyScientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.*The sun is a mass of incandescent gasA gigantic nuclear furnaceWhere hydrogen is built into heliumAt a temperature of millions of degreesNotes*live versions of this song are improvised extensively. some variants on this section:Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and helium.Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light from the sun come from the nuclear reaction between oxygen, hydrogen, helium, and hydrogen.You know, frank, scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light from the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen and you, frank otoole.Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light from the sun come from the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, carbon, boron, chloron, fluMoron, and estrogen.
