I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur.
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world.
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur.
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world.
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

haha 'grok' is a word that Robert A. Heinlein uses as a Martian word in his sci-fi novel 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. to grok means to understand fully. to grasp fully to be. he often uses the phrase, "thou art god' which is very eastern phylosophy type.
that 'you' did not grok the magnetic field's race car means you can't comprehend it.
