They taught us kids in school between the recess breaks   That the universe just sorta fell together like a Big Mistake   It started with a bang that sent the pieces flying   Then it cooled and twirled into dinosaurs and dandelioins      Chorus:   It was a Big Mistake to have eyes that see   To have love like this inside of me   To have lips that smile as I swim your kiss   To have minds that will forever every part of this   All the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above and   the autumn leaves and the falling love   The still reflection in the moonlit lake   All, they said, it was a big mistake, it was a big mistake      Now back to science class through the looking glass   We were magnifying little ancestors of our ancient past   Watch 'em break a couple chromosomes, wait a zillion years or so   And get an ostrich, a jellyfish, a kangaroo, and a Romeo      Chorus      The choreography of a coincidence   At the turning point there was eternity behind a moment's glance   It was for you and me the timing made us laugh   The fact that anyone could find their only one along this darkened path
