[Intro]
Here they come!
(Where?)
Right there!
(Where?)
Right through the walls
(Through closed doors and down the halls)
Through the ceiling
(Through the door)
Through your body
(… here come more!)
[Verse 1]
The Sun’s throwing particles across the sky
Billions of billions go racing by
No invitation, no ticket to show
They slip through the places you’ll never know
Through your head
(Through your toes)
Through your heart
(There one goes!)
No bump, no bruise
No bang, no sound
A hundred trillion
(Just passing around!)
[Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow
They’re passing right through…
(You)
[Verse 2]
They’re born in the Sun where the fusion burns
And cosmic explosions send more in turns
From distant galaxies, far beyond sight
They cross the universe at nearly light
They’re ghost-like guests
(They don’t knock)
They don’t need keys
(They don’t stop)
Matter’s a maze
(They mostly ignore)
They pass through the Earth
(And out the other door!)
[Pre-Chorus]
A hundred trillion
(Every second!)
Through your body
(You reckon?)
No collision
(No sensation)
Just a subatomic
(Transit station!)
[Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow
They’re passing right through…
(You)
[Bridge]
You think you’re solid
(Strong and dense)
A wall of matter
(With a fence)
But deep in the atoms
(There’s room to spare)
And neutrinos move
(Like they’re barely there!)
Through the planet
(Through the stone)
Through the places
(You call your own)
Most pass by
(Without a trace)
But once in a while
(They leave a case!)
[Instrumental]
(Zoom!)
(Through you!)
(Zoom!)
(Comin’ through!)
(From the Sun!)
(From a star!)
(They don’t care!)
(Where you are!)
[Breakdown]
Who’s passing through?
(Neutrinos!)
Who’s feeling it?
(No one knows!)
[Final Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow
They’re passing right through…
(You)
[Outro]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
They’re everywhere
(But hard to know)
Through your bones
(Through your shoes)
Through the Earth
(And out they cruise)
They’re passing right through…
(You!)
[Outro: Narration]
Neutrinos: The sun and cosmic events constantly blast the Earth with ghost-like particles called neutrinos. Approximately 100 trillion neutrinos pass right through your body every second without colliding with a single atom in your cells.
