Running low
(Thin on air)
Down below
(Not much there)
[Verse 1]
Where is the money going to come from

Out of thin air
(In a thin air scare)
ABOUT THE SONG
The phrase “out of thin air” originated in the 16th century and is most famously attributed to William Shakespeare, who used a similar version in his play The Tempest (1610-1611). In Act 4, Scene 1, the character Prospero says:
“These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air.”
Here, Shakespeare uses “into thin air” to describe something that disappears or vanishes completely and almost magically.
The phrase “out of thin air” has come to mean something that appears suddenly, unexpectedly, or without explanation, as if from nothing. It is often used to describe things that seem to materialize or be created with no apparent source or cause. For example:
It conveys a sense of surprise or disbelief, as though the event defied logic or reason.

Am I…
(Among the living)
Then, why…
(Is there no giving)
[Bridge]

I can’t believe my eyes

Seeing double (asses)

Don’t put all your eggs
In one basket

Stop loss
Coin toss

(Along for the ride)
[Intro]
Cross at the green
(Not in between)
Come to a complete stop
(Or risk being dropped)
[Verse 1]
Playing between the yellow lines
Seemed like fun at the time
Stepping on landmines
Before reaching your prime
[Chorus]
Cross at the green
(Not in between)
Come to a complete stop
(Or risk being dropped)
[Bridge]
Crossing against the red
Rushing to be dead
Head to head
With a truck
(What the….)
[Verse 2]
Sick, sick, sick
Playing in traffic
Too chicken to cross the road
… just might explode
[Chorus]
Cross at the green
(Not in between)
Come to a complete stop
(Or risk being dropped)
[Bridge]
Crossing against the red
Rushing to be dead
Head to head
With a truck
(What the….)

Head to head with a car….
(Won’t get you far)

Stop running around
Self-impale flail
Is bound to fail

Blood flows like rivers
[Bridge]
Tisk, tisk

You’re going way to fast
Don’t you want life to last
If you slip and fall
You could end it all

No running around
(With scissors)
Blood flows like rivers
[Bridge]
Tisk, tisk
(High risk)
Taking chances

A SCIENCE NOTE
Pluto’s status has been debated since 2006, when the IAU redefined what constitutes a planet. The criteria include:
Pluto fails the third criterion, as it shares its orbital zone with other Kuiper Belt objects. This led to its reclassification as a dwarf planet.
While scientifically it is not a “full-fledged” planet, the emotional and cultural attachment to Pluto’s planetary identity remains strong, leading to ongoing debates and advocacy for its reinstatement.
Pluto’s story exemplifies how scientific understanding evolves. Whether viewed as a planet or a dwarf planet, its fascinating characteristics and connection to mythology ensure it remains one of the most beloved celestial objects in our Solar System.
