Splitting The Atom

Massive Attack - Heligoland

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

dont let it go

It's easy

dont let it go

It's easy

dont let it go

Don't lose it

It's 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

dont let it go

It's easy

dont let it go

It's easy

dont 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

A kiss of wine

we'll disappear

The last of the last particles

Divisible

invisible

The last of the last particles

Divisible

invisible
