Liner Notes[]
"After being rejected by the Girl, the Prodigy turn to his only friend, the Teacher. The Prodigy needs a safe place where he can work on the Theory of Everything and take time to sort himself out The teacher knows of the perfect place - there's an old renovated lighthouse up for sale. After pulling off the bank scam with the Rival, money is no object: the Prodigy buys the lighthouse and retreats there, virtually going "off the grid." The teacher is the only one who knows his whereabouts, and checks on him every day."

Lyrics[]
[Teacher:]
It’s time to put things in perspective
Find your way again
Let me take you to the lighthouse
Where you can hide away
[Prodigy:]
I only want to be alone
To work the numbers on my own
I need to show my father
I need to show them all… I am the one
[Teacher:]
Your time has come
[Prodigy:]
To unlock the equation
[Prodigy and Teacher:]
The Theory of Everything
[Teacher:]
If you’re troubled by the visions
The chaos in your mind
If the voices start to whisper
Call me, day or night!
[Prodigy:]
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine
[Teacher:]
Don’t underestimate the danger
[Prodigy:]
I’m gonna make the theory shine
[Teacher:]
You’ll regret it sooner or later
[Prodigy:]
I need to show my father
I need to show them all... I am the one
[Teacher:]
Our time has come
[Prodigy:]
I will find the equation
[Teacher and Prodigy:]
T
he Theory of Everything
