When Opposites
Unite
To the tune of “Ballad of
Inverness” or “Three Drunken Maidens”
Now,
four-and-twenty opposites, they went to Inverness
And
when it all was over, there were four-and-twenty less.
Chorus:
Have
a ball with your partner when you’re up against the wall
The
night was made to make it if you wanna be made at all.
Position
and momentum, they would fill you full of doubt
When
the one was concentrated, then the other one spread out
The
questions and the answers, would their follies ever end?
For
every time an answer came, a question rose again.
(Chorus.)
Now
space and time were very fine, they truly made the night
For
their fixin’ turned to mixin’ when they reached the speed of light
The
local and the global, you could see them here and there
Right
here they’re interacting, ‘cause the
here is everywhere
(Chorus.)
Creation
and destruction, they will satisfy your yen
If
you haven’t made perfection, then you’d better start again
Now,
true and false could really waltz, they sure were in the groove
You
really don’t know dancing if you haven’t seen them move
(Chorus.)
Reality
and fantasy were truly hot to trot
We
tried to separate them, but we knew that we could not
Oh,
yes and no were on the go, they sparkled like a gem
Their
search was not exhaustive, but it sure exhausted them.
(Chorus.)
A
toast to self and other, for they had the greatest fun
They
dove into each other and they merged right into one.
Now,
life and death will catch your breath, so don’t be so upset
If
you think the show is nothing, then you ain’t seen nothing yet.
(Chorus.)
Oh,
now the song is over, yet it’s also just begun;
If
you can solve the riddle, even you can join the fun!
