That's why people fall in love
That's why people fall in love


Trains collide on a regular basis
Stars explode and fireworks don't
A sea runs dry and the moon leaves it's orbit

And we run this one thinking it won't

True to form our vision of order

Was cloud-free up until
A certain Mister 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 falls off the deep end

That's why people fall in love

Who's the dudes who's leaking the secret

Astronauts and heretics
Archimedes just couldn't keep it
And look what happened to the Greeks

Yuri Gagarin told Joe Stalin
But Joe's not telling me
Dickie Burton's final curtain

Fell before he spilled the beans
Albert Einstein nailed spacetime
But the wild thing had him stumped

Al baby, two and two make five and a quarter
That's why people fall in love


And our lives are a grain of sand
Snacktime for a moonbeam
And tonight is a perfect night

To dissolve in this ocean of light
And fall in love


Trains collide on a regular basis
Stars explode and fireworks don't
The sea runs dry and the moon leaves it's orbit

And we run this one hoping it won't

I've been all around this flat old Earth

And I still ain't got it sussed
I guess some nights the universe runs circles around us
That's why people fall in love


That's why people fall in love
That's why people fall in love

That's why people fall in love
That's why people fall in love
