Shoemaker​-​Levy 9

from Perihelion by Kuiper Light Drive

/

lyrics

You were flying through the solar system, shooting stars
Checking out all of the planets as you swung past Mars
But no one even knew
No one even knew your name
Baby you were hot for Jupiter, you said "Hello"
"Can I take you out to dinner? Maybe see a show?"
But she never even knew
Never even knew you came
Poor baby comet!
Shoemaker-Levy 9!

Well you jumped into her orbit, thought you'd ride the rings
You were desperate for attention, feeling funny things
And you wanted to make sense
Wanted to make sense of it
When you passed the Roche Limit you were in too deep
Mighty Jupiter was waking from a cosmic sleep
And she tore you limb from limb
Tore you into tiny bits
Twenty baby comets!
Shoemaker-Levy 9!

Caroline, Eugene and David
Looking for you saw your fated
Planet love
Now everyone on Earth reminds you
That your destiny will always find you
Up above

You knew that you could never have it all
This whole breakup thing had left you feeling pretty small
But you couldn't let it go
You just kept hanging on to her
With everybody watching here on planet Earth
You gathered up your fragments and you dove head-first
Into Jupiter
Yeah you dove right into Jupiter
Poor baby comet!
Shoemaker-Levy 9!

Miserable comet!
Shoemaker-Levy 9!
