Public Broadcasting Service - Supernova Life lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in the day I was a big H cloud I was really airy, and I wasn't so loud Momma gave me a p-p chain Got really hot and nobody to blame My insides just went insane I heated up 10 million K My core began to fuse and I shot gamma rays C12 shot out every which way Breaking hydrostatic equilibrium made my day But then I wouldn't fuse, gravity refused I got really lonely, I got really fat I was a red giant, I didn't like that Lost some weight, got really small My bud said I was a hot carbon ball [Verse 2] My buddy's been talkin but now let me get rockin It was way back when we were all hydrogen I was jealous of his p-p chain Wishing my mom had done the same He was making helium, but I wasn't feelin him He began to fuse carbon long before I I was becoming a red giant when he started to die He thought it was cool when he started to lose weight But now he'll see that he's always been second rate [Verse 3] My friend began to grow, I got really greedy Taking up my space getting really needy So I started to steal his stuff At times I just had to get rough So then we got into a brawl Because I wanted to be the bigger ball As I reached the Chandrasekhar I was filled with remorse, I had gone too far When I got to 1.4 solar ma** I knew my time was ending fast I could not escape my fate Having already hurt my binary mate That was when I could not hold on I had a Supernova type one [Verse 4] I got too bloated, my friend had exploded He vanished from the sky, I simply cannot lie I was mistaken I had not k**ed my mate He came back, sealing my fate He's back to steal from me now I will never be free [Hook] x4 Red Giant White Dwarf Supernova Over and over
