The Second Second Coming of the Big Big Bang

Feel alone and the dark is plenty
I’ve swallowed a genius but she can’t speak
Her mouth is full of empty conversations
She’s really lucky if it happens once a week.

A good friend explained the Big Bang to me
She said all original matter could fit in a cup
But it got so intense in the spinning and the flying
Then something sparked it and it all blew up
It all blew up.
Then I said really and wow!
It’s not so different than what’s happening now,
Then the bell of understanding rang
It’s the second second coming of the big big bang
Second second coming of the big big bang.

Do we have all we need now is everything in place
Can we speak the common goals for which we both are striving?
If we let go the structure how will we fill the space?
One of these trips why don’t we just keep driving?

It takes courage to attain the material
With your eye on the target can you still live full?
But I will be here when you want to get ethereal
And I’ll fill you in if you miss anything beautiful.

Because the future is coming now
It’s just a lot bigger than the present will allow
But we are wise we make great big space for change
For the second second coming of the big big bang
It’s the second second coming of the big big bang
Second second coming of the big big bang
Second second coming of the big big bang
