Energy, radiation
Spinning thirty times a second
Energy, radiation
A spinning pulsating star, a pulsar
Energy, radiation
Energy, radiation
A spinning pulsating star
Energy, radiation
A pulsar
Gravity has squeezed the giant star's core down to this
It's just twelve miles across, unimaginably dense
One pinhead of this would weigh hundreds, maybe millions of tons
And as it shrank like a figure skater spinning on the spot
Arms outstretched, then pulling them in, it began to spin faster
Energy, radiation
Spinning thirty times a second
Powering the huge cloud of dust and gas
Gravity has squeezed the giant star's core down to this
It's just twelve miles across, unimaginably dense
One pinhead of this would weigh hundreds, maybe millions of tons
And as it shrank like a figure skater spinning on the spot
Arms outstretched, then pulling them in, energy, radiation
A pulsar
Energy, radiation
Spinning thirty times a second
Energy, radiation
A spinning pulsating star, a pulsar
