Well, you said that we'd take walks
And have bespattered talks
We'd watch the setting sun
So meaningful yet fun
Well, I was skeptical at first
Envisioning the worst
But you put my heart at ease
All birds and honey bees
Then I began to float
That feeling so remote
Like a helium balloon [bad word] bent for the moon
And from the corner of my eye
I watched the world sail by
But all I saw was you
Pulling at your twenty-two
Big bang, big bang
I'm shooting holes in Theory Man
Big bang, big bang
Why you say you can fly, you can
Big bang, big bang
Don't shoot me down, Mr. Theory Man!
Big bang, big bang
I'm shooting holes in Mr. Theory Man
(Two, three, four)
Well, you were there, for what it's worth
When I fell back down to Earth
You offered to explain
The meaning of my pain
Just grab a tea, you said
And mostly in your head
Just give yourself a day
You'll soon be on your way
Then you dusted off your gun
And went out to have more fun
And I sat to catch my breath
'Cause I hadn't caught it yet
And I tried to blow a kiss
Knowing well enough I'd miss
Then you pulled another ace
You said you needed space!
(Well that's exactly where I was going!)
Big bang, big bang
I'm shooting holes in Theory Man
Big bang, big bang
Why you say you can fly, you can
Big bang, big bang
Don't shoot me down, Mr. Theory Man!
Big bang, big bang
I'm shooting holes in Mr. Theory Man
(Two, three, four)
Well, you said that we'd take walks
And have bespattered talks
We'd watch the setting sun
So meaningful yet fun
Well, I was skeptical at first
Envisioning the worst
But you put my heart at ease
All birds and honey bees
Then I began to float
That feeling so remote
Like a helium balloon
Hellbent for the moon
And from the corner of my eye
I watched the world sail by
But all I saw was you
Pulling at your twenty-two
Big bang, big bang
I'm shooting holes in Theory Man
Big bang, big bang
Why you say you can fly, you can
Big bang, big bang
Don't shoot me down, Mr. Theory Man!
Big bang, big bang
I'm shooting holes in Mr. Theory Man
