Sodium ( /ˈsoʊdiəm/ SOH-dee-əm) is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature, but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite and rock salt. Many salts of sodium are highly water-soluble, and their sodium has been leached by the action of water so that chloride and sodium are the most common dissolved elements by weight in the Earth's bodies of oceanic water.
Many sodium compounds are useful, such as sodium hydroxide (lye) for soapmaking, and sodium chloride for use as a deicing agent and a nutrient. Sodium is an essential element for all animals and some plants. In animals, sodium ions are used against potassium ions to build up charges on cell membranes, allowing transmission of nerve impulses when the charge is dissipated. The consequent need of animals for sodium causes it to classified as a dietary inorganic macro-mineral.
Don't call, don't write, don't speak my name
Though we've tried this twice
I'm just another face
Even when you're running out of luck
You think we'll get it right this time
Get it right, all right, all right, all right
Run, in another five months you'll be alone
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
You gotta get used to going out
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
By now, by now, I'm sure you've heard
So you called me yesterday
But I had nothin' to say
Message said I'm running out of time
So, so much for the honesty
Because after all, you know you've won
Run, in another five months you'll be alone
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
You gotta get used to going out
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
I'll write you one more song
Spell it out for you to leave you
Where you're standing now
You're running out of lies
So, so much for the honesty
Because after all, you know you've won
Run, in another five months you'll be alone
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
You gotta get used to going out
And you'll drive around this empty town
To the places, to the places we used to go
To the places, to the places we used to go
