Atom

I'll be the first to admit this is a bright but haunted age
I just don't know now now I just can't say hey hey
When you get down down to the heart and the bones of it
Thats when it breaks you know, thats when it falls apart
but thats the prize now
oh caveat emptor, open the atoms core
but thats the prize now
oh caveat emptor open the atoms core
oh caveat emptor open the atoms core
Whoa!
Oh Oh i just dont get it
And you keep slipping down the surface of things
i just cant take it now, i just cant wait for more
when you get down down to the sub atomic part of it
thats when it breaks you know, thats when it falls apart
oh caveat emptor, open the atoms core
Whoa!
Whoa!
Oh Oh I just don't get it
Get it
Oh I Just dont get it
Get It! Get It! Get It!
I just don't get it
Whoa!
I I just don't get it
No I, I Just don't get it
Just dont get it
get it get it get it get it
oh
Whats wrong with you?
ey lad?
