Molecule

One of the few minor benefits to the shocking discovery
I made in the morning, without any warning,
I had simply forgotten what it was like.
This isn't a joke, man. I'm as thin as smoke, man
and I can pass through anyone,
and as far as I can tell I can't affect them.
It's just the same as it ever was.

Hitched a ride, and as you passed by
I laid face down to the floor.
Will you pass by again?
And so I stole a couple things for fun,
but in a few years, I'm a stranger to anyone.
Even in my own eyes, even back in Shanghai.
Caught a glimpse, but it's gone again.
This isn't a joke man. I'm as thin as smoke, man,
and I can pass through anyone,
and as far as I can tell I can't affect them.
It's just the same as it ever was.

Why won't the light bounce off of my little molecule, like it did only yesterday?
