Verse 1:
My body is a vessel
It carries my consciousness

Chorus:
Positive and negative sodium ions
surge through the cell
Like a bunch of growling lions
They are sure to set a spell

Verse 2:
My consciousness is a series of chemical reactions in my brain

Bridge:
myelin sheath

Verse 3:
Neurons covered in a little myelin sheath
There to protect an electrical surge

Verse 4:
An electrical reaction surges through the neural cell
It reaches the axon terminal

Crosses to the presynaptic receptor
The release of neural transmitters

an electrical insulation layer
After firing there is a refractory period

Dendrites and axons

So many problems to work out
So many solutions to scout

A small amount of matter
Can create a great amount of energy
So says all the chatter
A great question for jeopardy

So many years ago
Einstein said in special relativity
He would’ve bet all his dough
What a man what creativity

Chorus:
E equal M C squared
Energy mass
Speed of Light

Verse 2:
This is how stars do their thing
They create such vitality
Bursting out with a big fling
Sending energy with such lethality

From a Swiss Patent post
Just West of the Center in Bern
As though he was a ghost
He set about to know it all and learn

Verse 3:
With a post at the University of Zurich
Einstein started us heading to the bomb
He didn’t consult with a cleric
He didn’t ask permission from mom

But war would come and the explosion
So massive it could threaten us all
A giant thing of death not illusion
The war would not be a draw

Phosphine on Venus

Verse 1:
Venus is the last place I expected to find
Evidence of life
A toxic environment of
Hot, dense carbon dioxide
Nothing lasts long there
But alas in the upper clouds
It is more jospitable

Chorus:
Way up high
In the skies
of Venus
just between us
There is phosphine
I’ve seen it on the screen
Can it mean life
(Ha Ha) With eyes

Verse 2:
Phosphine is a marker consistent with life
Created either by living organisms or some unknown chemical process
Could this phosphine be due to something other than life?
Commonly created in the bowls of animals
Found in the excrement of penguins
A colorless, flammable, very toxic gas

Unused Lyrical Ideas:
Phosphine (PH3) has been found in the upper layer of clouds on Venus

Water ice waiting there for us
No sunlight penetrated these deep caverns

Outro
Water in the ejected plume, water

Unused Lyrical ideas:
A self sustaining base on the moon becomes attainable
Water cannot persist on the moon’s surface
Water is decomposed by sunlight
The hydrogen is quickly lost to outer space
However water can persite in the cold

onboard India's ISRO Chandrayaan-1

Verse 1 (7/4):
There are so many amazing astronauts
Living fantastic lives to have their shots
Some might say they were robots

People willing to live for a dream
To be a legend and be part of the team

Chorus 1 (4/4):
Story Musgrave is a storied man
American hero with a Renaissance plan

Verse 2 (7/4):
Joined the protectors and became a marine
He went up to join them in the jet stream
and he became a spaceman Supreme

He paid his dues and didn’t sing the blues
He tightened down with education screws
Began his many degrees at Syracuse
Then went on to Medicine as he would choose

Chorus 2 (4/4):
Story Musgrave is a storied man
American hero with a Renaissance plan
Alcohol and abuse didn’t ruin him
A working farm boy not in the gym

Verse 3 (7/4):
Launching into space is not magnificent
It is an experience that is quite different
The serenity of zero gravity
Is the dance that makes op for the agony
Getting out ones comfort is the path exploration
Going great to help our elation

Chorus 3 (4/4):
Story Musgrave is a storied man
American hero with a Renaissance plan
Astronaut MD with a fan

Original ideas:
From a family of alcoholism and abuse he rose to great heights
When you launch from space it is the opposite of magnificent
The incredible serenity and celestial dance of zero gravity
Getting out of the comfortable path, that’s what exploration is about

Verse 1 (7/4):
There are so many amazing astronauts
Living fantastic lives to have their shots
Some might say they were robots

People willing to live for a dream
To be a legend and be part of the team

Chorus 1 (4/4):
Story Musgrave is a storied man
American hero with a Renaissance plan

Verse 2 (7/4):
Joined the protectors and became a marine
He went up to join them in the jet stream
and he became a spaceman Supreme

He paid his dues and didn’t sing the blues
He tightened down with education screws
Began his many degrees at Syracuse
Then went on to Medicine as he would choose

Chorus 2 (4/4):
Story Musgrave is a storied man
American hero with a Renaissance plan
Alcohol and abuse didn’t ruin him
A working farm boy not in the gym

Verse 3 (7/4):
Launching into space is not magnificent
It is an experience that is quite different
The serenity of zero gravity
Is the dance that makes op for the agony
Getting out ones comfort is the path exploration
Going great to help our elation

Chorus 3 (4/4):
Story Musgrave is a storied man
American hero with a Renaissance plan
Astronaut MD with a fan

Original ideas:
From a family of alcoholism and abuse he rose to great heights
When you launch from space it is the opposite of magnificent
The incredible serenity and celestial dance of zero gravity
Getting out of the comfortable path, that’s what exploration is about
Hubble images tell us where we’re going
Veteran of 6 space slights
Analyst for Kodak

Astronaut MD and consultant to Imagineering
Flew six missions in Space
Holds six academic degrees
Born in Massachusetts
Lexington, Kentucky is his home

Appeared on Mission to Mars and Home Improvement
Joined the marines
An aviation electrician
Served aboard the USS Wasp
Jumping out of planes over 800 times

An Air force post-doctoral fellow
Flew on all 5 space shuttles

It takes a fool to combine statistics and music. However, I am both a reasonably good statistician and a musician.
This song follows (to some extent) the characteristics of the standard normal distribution.

The structure is 2 beats in a measure of C (2 beats)
Followed by two measures of 3 beats in E Minor (6 beats)
Followed by 6 measures of 4 beats in G (24 beats)
Followed by two measures of 3 beats in E Minor (6 beats)
Followed by 1 measure of 2 beats in C (2 beats)

This pattern is repeated 10 times
Where the ¾ and 2/4 measures meets I call the chorus
Where there are 6 measures of 4 beats I call verses

A comparison of the beats in this song to the standard normal distribution is:
+/-3 sd (99.7%) leaving 5% = 4 beats (10% of beats)
+/- 2 sd (95%) leaving 27% = 12 beats (30% of beats)
+/- 1 sd (68%) = 24 beats (60% of beats)

In addition there is an intro and outro that are not included in this calculation.

Standard Normal Distribution

Chorus 1:
The Gauss Distribution
With a mean of 0

Verse 1:
There are so many example of things that
Distribute themselves (normally)

Chorus 2:
Height of a population
Weight of a population

Verse 2:
It is related to everything
All things spread

Chorus 3:
Standard Deviation of 1

Verse 3:
Roll the dice what do you get
A standard normal distribution

Chorus 4:
Things take this shape
Called the bell curve

Verse 5:
It starts with the normal curve
Then it expands from there

Chorus 5:
Is anything really normal?

Verse 6:
Instrumental

Chorus 5:
Tales of central tendency

Verse 6:
You have mean, median, and mode

Chorus 6:
There is bimodal, trimodal, and more

Verse 7:
There are skewed distributions
Leaning to one side

Chorus 7:
Income is a skewed distributions

Verse 8:
There are leptokurtic and platykurtic
Very tall or short (and fat distributions)

Chorus 8:
The weird is normally distributed

Verse 9:
Galileo noticed the errors in astronomical calculations

Outro:
Normal distributions are not normal at all

Unused Lyrics:
Small errors were much more common than large errors
Chorus 9:
Binomial and poison
There is the range and kurtosis
Verse 10:
People think of high or low, big and small, long and short
but most fall somewhere in the middle
Or are they?

We are Passing through
a string of debris
Left from the Asteroid
Swift-Tuttle
Thousands of little pieces
Most no bigger than a grain of sand
But some leave their light marks
On our night sky

Shooting stars in the sky
Out of the constellation Perseus
From the Asteroid Swift-Tuttle

Verse 2:
Shooting stars
Debris left from passing comets and asteroids
Burning high in our sky
Little paths of bright light
Shared between lovers in the night

Verse 3:
Wishing for love
On a shooting star
Shooting across our night sky
Meteroids traveling at
133, 000 mph

Small moons in the rings
So far from the Sun
Hidden in the wings

We are not like the others
Full of our own uniqueness
Not big like our brothers
Ugliness is our weakness

But we have each other
Lost in our own little dance
Pulled along by our mother
Pulled together as if by chance

Our dance of tugging and pulling
From outside to inside and back again
From afar it is alluring
From so close there is a strain

Janus is the bigger
With so much more strength
Janus has all the vigor
But the dance is at arm’s length

But Epimetheus is no wimp
She can rise in the orbit
She has strength with no limp
She can stay in the market

But around and around they go
In and out to and fro
One courted the other the beau
They dance together with a flow

We watch you in this dance
The view tugs at those near and far
Each has their last chance
Jostling the rings leaving a scar

Cruithne is sometimes called Earth's second moon. It is an astral object that circles around the earth but whose orbit is around the sun (not earth). The orbit is sometimes called bean shaped. You can find more information about Cruithne at the bottom of this description.
This song has an unusual half step series in the chorus. Each time through I use the same lyrics but I adjust the way they are done. The first and last chorus are similar with minor differences. The middle chorus uses background vocals under the lead vocals on the word Cruithne.

Phobos the Doomed

Verse 1:
You stand too close to your master
You are being broken apart and swallowed
Soon to be little than rubble

Chorus:
You stand large in your neighborhood
But you will soon be departed

Verse 2:
Your little brother Deimos
will outlive you
The little guy keeps his distance
Circling high above
Intro and Bridge:
Phobos the doomed

Verse 3:
Stickney stands out to all
Nearly destroyed you
You are cracking at the seams
Your demise is near
This song is in 5/4 time.

Uncertainty Lyrics

Verse 1:
Here I am standing in my room all alone
Waiting for the man to come
To take me away to the place
Where I can’t return from

Chorus:
I cannot live
In this place
Where
All is Uncertain

Verse 2:
They come everyday
Taking different people
First it was my priest
Then the family down the street
Then their neighbors vanished
To a place I don’t know
But I am sure (it is not good)

Verse 3:
Everyone is afraid
Not sure who to trust
Could a child down the street
Say they didn’t – like – your looks
Next thing you know you are not here
They have taken you to the place
Where they take the child molesters
And anyone someone didn’t like

Verse 4:
Take control of your life
Give a damn about your space
Don’t let them take your freedom away
Fight for your rights
Fight for other’s rights
Fight for your freedom
To stand on your own
Decide to take control of your life
Fight all tyranny
Fight Fight Fight]]>

Sitting On the most peculiar toad stool in the land of Oz
Where the golden path is slipping away through the path of the dawning light

Slipping and slipping
Slipping away from here

I see the light of the day that has not come

I feel the touch of the voice
That cannot play with me tonight

It sits and it snorts nnd it thinks
That I am not worthy

You lived close to me
We were such good friends
We played cops and robbers together
When we were young
We would gather the kids to play hide and seek

Living in a care free world
Unaware of what is coming

Until I saw you drop

Life changed and you changed and I changed
You returned to my life
You wanted to take everything you could
You thought you needed and I would get some more
So what’s the harm
My life was destroyed by cutbacks and layoffs
What seemed so grand was crashing down before me

Thank you for exposing

The internal oceans of water
The magnetosphere has now been mapped
The plasma is now better understood

You are so beautiful
The most beautiful in the ambit
You float so easily in your orbit
Moving along on your plain

Chorus:
Oh Saturn’s ring

You’re not a juvenile

You were once thought to be one

So many aspects of you
So many parts make up your whole

A place of amazement and wonder

I admit that I did play on a double entendre with this song. The lyrics could be interpreted as being about a different kind of crack.

Lyrics: Mars Valles Marineris

Verse 1:
Such a great crack I see
Some think it is heaven
Other’s know it is you
Your special place
Your unique zone

Chorus:
Valles Marineris
You are so deep
Cut into the soul of your world

Verse 2:
Such a great canyon
Your heavenly delights for man
Along your Martian equator
Bring forth the depths
Bring it on

Verse 3:
Some think it grew
as your soul thickened
But I think you
Make it what it is
It makes you unique in the Universe

Verse 4:
Mariner 9 pointed you out to the world
Showing all what you had to offer
Perhaps water belongs there
But only you know your secrets
They are yours to bear

Unused lyrics:
Mars has a great canyon
It is called Valles Marineris
It is named after the Mariner 9
Discovered in 1972
The Valles Marineris is more than 4,000 km long
Some think it was formed by water
Other believe it is a giant crack in Mars

I was drawn to this movie because of an interview with Reese Witherspoon on "60 Minutes". I thought about the character's husband who lost her to heroin addiction. This song is from his viewpoint. He loves her but he sees her taken away by her heroin addiction. You can see an interview about the movie here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=60mTet-Gj94

You’re Leaving (Short lyrics)
Verse 1:
I loved this woman
I became a new man
We became as one
Our love had begun

Chorus:
Oh the pain
Of your leaving

Verse 2:
You wandered and excluded me
You began to flee
We lost our glue
Through addiction I lost you?

Over on the river
And down the side bar
I saw a sliver
That’s not a scar

We walked down
The very icy road
Dirty and brown
We had a heavy load

We slipped and slide
We almost fell
So we had to glide
Till we rang the bell

Then we left
To get ourselves warm
There was a theft
Of a new art form

We hid in the alley
Next to the trash
Heading to the valley
With our cash

There we ran
AS far as we can
Running with the pan
To form a new plan

I’ll keep a fire going for a bonfires sake just to usher in the wind
I’ll build a table to retrieve your love over coffee and a chocolate cake
I’ll keep a candle lit to light your way
To the place we begin again
You bring me flowers, I reciprocate
It’s the crazy dance of love and friend
Oh I wanna take your hand and kiss your face, it’s the simple things you know
The world is wild and I need to know that you're ok in the jungle there
If it were just the snakes, I wouldn't worry so but I need your heart to bare
Oh, wanna take your hand and kiss your face, it’s the simple things you know
So growing like a trumpet vine with orange fire to proclaim
Let me still be your lady love and the love be our flame.

I finally know the reason for your cold embrace
your kiss was a fake

you've got me where you needed
you've got me where you needed
i forgot about the world

all my mistakes
have brought you here
the price I have to pay
to carry on
i let go today
we're floating off to space

your kiss was a fake

Lyrics:
It Was Perfect
Baby, first time I saw you, I hoped you were for me
Baby, first time I called you, I could hardly wait to see
Just what we would look like, walking side by side
So I bit the bullet, invited you to take a ride.
And I drove us down … to the beach
The girl that I believed … was out of reach
we kissed for the first time … what a peach …
It was Perfect
I can hardly believe it, you are going out with me
I have to pinch myself, this is real not fantasy
Never thought that I would, be your Mr. Right
And now I am shining, in the social spotlight.
And I drove us down … to the beach
The girl that I believed … was out of reach
we kissed for the first time … what a peach …
It was Perfect
So, Perfect,
Ah! It was Perfect,
I see the looks on faces … staring unbelievably
I see those other guys … staring enviously
Still I never thought that, … I could be your Mr. Right
now I’m caught shining … in your glorious spotlight.
And I drove us down … to the beach
The girl that I believed … was out of reach
we kissed for the first time … what a peach …
It was Perfect

Chorus:
I?m walking through the castle?s keep
Heading to the end

Verse 1:
I came into disfavours
For what I know not

Verse 2:
I was rising
In the royal circle
Land and titles
Were coming my way
Things were looking up
For me and family

Verse 3:
Then one day
Word began to spread
Someone was sure to lose their head
Cliques of friends and enemies were made
If you were in the wrong group
you were sure to end up dead
You would face the axe
It is a sad and lonely fact
You would be gone from this world

Lyrics br Tom RoXX

Verse1
If I only live an hour a day
I wouldn't be thinking of yesterday
Wouldn't get hung-up on what to say
Think I would spend my time at play

Chorus
Save me a place, in your mind
Save me a place, don't leave me behind
Remember me when I'm gone
Remember me in a song
Save me a place, in your mind

Verse 2
Hope I can live on after I'm gone
Hope I can live on in a love song
Want you to think of me once in a while
Just think of this song and let your face smile

Chorus
Save me a place, in your mind
Save me a place, don't leave me behind
Remember me when I'm gone
