Stephen Hawking Wants You To
By Susan Muranty

Verse 1
You say you burn for science, not for romance.
You say you dream of stars I just can’t see.
Stephen Hawking thrills you – that’s terrific.
There’s one thing he can’t do as well as me.
A kiss goes on forever when it’s caught in light.
A kiss leaps on from star to endless star,
Travelling from earth into the universe,
Far from where we think we know we are.

Chorus
So kiss me for the sake of science.
Kiss me like you know it’s true.
Kiss me like you mean forever.
Stephen Hawking wants you to.

Verse 2
I know you think I’m watching too much Star Trek.
But hey, you’ve got a crush on Dr Who …
She’d tell us not to argue with the cosmic facts -
The light we make goes way beyond us two.
If we could speed up time and take a telescope
To watch ourselves from some far bit of space,
This is what we‘d see - your lips on mine,
Burning in some otherworldly place.

Chorus
So kiss me for the sake of science.
Kiss me like you know it’s true.
Kiss me like you mean forever.
Stephen Hawking wants you to.

Bridge
Stephen Hawking,
Stephen Hawking,
Stephen Hawking
Says it’s true.
Stars and magic.
He’s ecstatic.
All of science thinks so too …

Chorus
So kiss me for the sake of science.
Kiss me like you know it’s true.
Kiss me like you mean forever.
Stephen Hawking wants you,
All of science wants you to -

Chorus
Kiss me for the sake of science.
Kiss me like you know it’s true.
Kiss me like you mean forever.
Stephen Hawking wants you -
All of science wants you -
Stephen Hawking wants you to.
