I love this song from Professor Shyguy, "Star Stuff." It's brilliant. I got it as part of one of the Groupees music bundles, and I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere else. On his bandcamp page, it isn't part of any of the albums. I've searched everywhere and it doesn't seem to exist outside of shady "mp3 buy" sites and one older version on a Myspace page. This seems a terrible shame, because it's an awesome song. I'm considering putting it on YouTube, just so people can hear it.
The Myspace version is outdated and the newer version is much better (the music is SO much nicer), but it will serve for the purposes of figuring out lyrics.
https://myspace.com/professorshyguy/music/song/star-stuff-77809359-85723813I have also uploaded my copy of Star Stuff. I hate to do it, but I genuinely cannot find any other source for this file. If anyone finds somewhere where it can be legitimately purchased, let me know and I'll link to that instead:

I've been trying to figure out the lyrics and I think I've got most of them, but there's a few spots I'm not sure about. Have a listen, have a look, and let me know if you can figure out the blank spots (or notice any mistakes). Other people are free to also post songs they're having trouble with the lyrics for, and we can work together to figure them out. Uncertain areas are either left "blank" with underscores or bolded/starred. The lyrics for the "demo" version I uploaded are slightly different and one verse is cut, but I've put the Myspace version here since it is longer.
right here in the center of my palm
everything appears so calm
it looks like nothing's changed
in the last ten years or so
but since then all the skin has been replaced
other cells have turned to waste
in order for new cells to grow
as cells die atoms move from within
so what i touch becomes a part of me
and i am born again
i'm living in a circle of rebirth
from the beginning of the earth
solar system, galaxy, universe and beyond
the atoms that were part of the big bang
still exist and are still the same
except the ones in atom bombs
let's watch our cells divide
and make life as we die
let's watch our cells divide
atom by atom to the other side
let's watch our cells divide
as we provide for another life
cities rise from where my body lies
devolve into matter
atoms are not created, they're not destroyed
within the body of a humanoid
they do not shrink, they do not grow
but they come and they go
protons, neutrons, and electrons
everybody's *spinning* made of bonds of hadrons
quarks and gluon made to look so calm
when i leave, most of me follows along
but what i leave is meant to be where it belongs
(chorus)
gluon holds the quarks and hadrons
hadrons known as protons, neutrons
neutrons can be found with protons
in clouds of aroused electrons
electrons make the world respond
covalent and ionic bonds
properties can be added on
new elements can thus be spawned
are quarks made of smaller strings
dimensions that can not be seen
electron ion photon beam
on the cover of a magazine
dawkins feynman brian cox
hawking segan _____ tyson logs
countless hours on ted talks
turning photons into thoughts
devolve into matter
