It fires when someone holds a system and laughs at it — cybernetics, theology, population gone wrong. If they can pack the hard stuff into something that burns but bends, but grins, but doesn't collapse under the weight — the bulb blinks once and I think: I'd like you to meet my dad. [Chorus] I would have introduced you to my father. He'd have argued, cracked a joke, refused to let go. Theoretical physicist, far from perfect, but he set into a tuning fork — and held the note. The bulb is on — that means you're real. The bulb is on — that means you're close now. Twice since then. Twice, not for nothing. It knows better than I do. [Verse 2] He could compress expertise into something flammable, flexible, alive, a little ironic in the joints. Never lectured — he'd out-joke you, out-argue you, and suddenly the difficult thing had a point. I watch you and I catch that frequency — not his echo, not a copy, but the same pitch. The internal tuning fork doesn't lie: bulb just fired — you're in. [Chorus] I would have introduced you to my father. He'd have argued, cracked a joke, refused to let go. Theoretical physicist, far from perfect, but he set into a tuning fork — and held the note. The bulb is on — that means you're real. The bulb is on — that means you're close now. Twice since then. Twice, not for nothing. It knows better than I do. [Outro] Twice since then. Both times it was right. No button. No timer. Just light.
