In 1969 I slept all through my science class Dreaming of the summer And the boy who cuts the grass The atmosphere of boredom hung like smog on Tokyo Heavy with equations it passed so slowly
But somehow something remained although I’d retained Almost zero The only thing that I heard, a curious word Neutrino
A scientist in 1940 won the Nobel Prize Predicting the existence of a particle of no size A shady particle it rarely interacts with ordinary matter Proven fact They’re moving faster than light, they’re travelling right on through you They say they have no effect and yet I suspect that they do
Chorus And you were like a Neutrino Only passing through But you, you will never know I feel you in my heart, feel you in my bones I feel you in my blood, feel you on my skin
In a time when love was free and pretty boys would come and go I put on the uniform and we danced slowly It was unwritten, but then everything was cool No-one tied to anyone We were beautiful But science knows I’m a fool Inevitable. You drew me And as we lay in the dark a merciless spark Cut through me
And is love just nothing unless it’s returned Is it zero? A scientist never been kissed won’t tell you But I know
‘Cause you were like a Neutrino Only passing through And you, you will never know I feel you in my heart, feel you in my bones I feel you in my blood, feel you on my skin
