About

The title of the song is based on the concept of density in certain celestial bodies such as neutron stars being so compact that a miniscule amount of mass would weigh hundreds of thousands of pounds. (A spoonful of a neutron star could be reasonably estimated to weigh about 10 billion tons)

A Spoonful Weighs a Ton Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And though they were sad
They rescued everyone
They lifted up the sun
A spoonful weighs a ton
Giving more than they had
The process had begun
A million came from one
The limits now were none

[Chorus]
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

[Verse 2]
Forcing it off with their hands
The trapdoor came undone
Above our heads it swung
The privilege had been won

[Chorus]
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

[Verse 3]
Yelling as hard as they can
The doubters all were stunned
Heard louder than a gun
The sound they made was love
