The Gedanken Train

[Intro]
Climb aboard The Gedanken Train...
I'll show you the Brownian Ratchet Game...

[Verse 1]
If you come and see me in my padded cell
Don't be alarmed by my catatonic eyes
I'm actually with my new friends
Sashaying through wormholes having shed
My physical shell for The Gedanken Train

[Chorus]
Climb aboard The Gedanken Train
The cabins are comfy and well-maintained
Though there's one restraint: you won't see Earth again
Time slows down at the speed of light
So when we reach Barnard's Star tonight
Everyone back home will all be dead and gone
Still, what a wonderful trip it'll be...

[Verse 2]
Every passenger's a wizened avatar
Good-natured godlets quick with a waggish gibe
I became a burly centaur
Feigned machismo's part of what we are
Don't be offended, I'm only half an ass

[Chorus]
Climb aboard The Gedanken Train
I'll show you the Brownian Ratchet Game
Though the catch remains: you won't see Earth again
Schrödinger's Cat makes you feel at home
And Maxwell's Demon's selling Casimir Cones
At the ice cream stand aboard the dine-in car
Still, what a wonderful trip it'll be...

[Bridge]
Climb aboard The Gedanken Train...
I'll show you the Brownian Ratchet Game...
But the catch remains...
You won't see Earth again
