Artist: They Might Be Giants

Song: Why Does The Sun Shine? ( The sun is a mass of incadescent gas )

Album: Severe Tire Damage

Keyboard intro:

Chorus:

The sun is a mass of incadescant gas. a gigantic nuclear furnace.

Where hydrogene is built into heilium at a temperature of millions of degrees

Verse:

The sun is hot. the sun is not a place where we could live.

But here on earth there'd be no life with out the light it gives.

We need it's light we need it's heat. The sunlight that we see.

The sunlight comes from our own suns atomic energy.

Chorus:

The sun is a mass of incadescant gas. a gigantic nuclear furnace.

Where hydrogene is built into heilium at a temperature of millions of degrees

Bridge:

The sun is hot....

(The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas. Aluminum, copper, iron,

and many others)

The sun is large...

(If the sun were hollow a million earths would fit inside. and yet it

is only a middle sized star)

The sun is far away...

(About ninty-three million miles away. And that's why it looks so small )

But even when it's out of site the sun shines night and day.

We need it's heat. We need it's light. the sunlight that we see

The sunlight comes from our own suns atomic energy

( Scientist have found that the sun is a huge atom smashing machine. The

heat and light of the sun are caused by nuclear reactions between hydrogen,

nitrogen, carbon, and helium.)

Chorus:

The sun is a mass of incadescant gas. a gigantic nuclear furnace.

Where hydrogene is built into heilium at a temperature of millions of degrees
