Splitting the Atom

The baby was born nettles and ferns The evening it chokes, the candle it burns, this disguise covers Bitter lies, repeating the joke, the meaning it dies Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave I'm letting you know, I know what you need I'll turn you around, this beautiful town And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go Don't lose It There was one redemption I can't open, repeat the joke Its getting colder outside your rented space They shadow box and they paper chase it never stops And we'll never learn no hope without dope The jobless return, the bankers have bailed The mighty retreat, the pleasure it fails At the end of the week, you take it or leave or what you receive To what you receive Is eternited leave It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go Don't lose it Incandescent light at doors, in adolescent menopause In little clicks you got the music stops, the needle sticks and the penny drops The summer's gone before you know, the muffled drums of relentless flow You're looking at stars that give you vertigo, the sun's still burning and dust will blow Honey scars I'll keep you near, our blood is gold nothing to fear We killed the time and I love you dear, kiss oh wine we'll disappear The last of the last particles, divisible invisible The last of the last particles, divisible invisible The last of the last particles, divisible invisible I see you, you're too near I see you, lucky me
