Did you know that
On Jupiter there's a hurricane, it's been blowing for 400 years
It's bigger than, the whole earth, but it's just a little red spot when we look at it from here
And it blasts and it blows and it spins around
No towns to destroy, nothing to knock down
And no one hears the roar, cause no one is around
And no one dies cause there's no life to be found
And it's all liquid and gas, there is no ground
On Jupiter there's a hurricane, it's been blowing for 400 years
In the clouds it's about 200 below
At the center of the planet it's 40,000 degrees
It's all hydrogen where the surface should be
But the pressure makes it a hydrogen sea
And liquified hydrogen is no place for me
No liquified hydrogen is no place for anyone else to be
If you're a carbon-based life-form like me
On Jupiter there's a hurricane, it's been blowing for 400 years
So what's the point being a hurricane, on a planet with no people to drench with rain
Well maybe it's just more fun that way, it fills the endless 10-hour days
And that's why it keeps on going, no sign that it is slowing
The huge storm keeps on blowing
But isn't it interesting that humans like me think things can only have a purpose
if they affect humans… like, why should ANYthing exist unless it's about ME? How
ethnocentric are we? Or species-centric? Maybe it's good that there are no
humans...
On Jupiter there's a hurricane, it's been blowing for 400 years

Oh boy! This is a song that's chock full of fun facts, all of which are true, though I did round off some of the numbers. And though I realize the timing of this title may seem insensitive, this song was in fact written nearly a year ago, and it's the lead-off track on "Top Ten Songs That Steve Has Come Up With Since His Last CD (plus 6 more!)" which is my latest album, and which you should definitely buy here!
So please don't cancel me.
