i know you had a hand in the pot
when the big bang went down
i know you formed and pulled apart
then formed again
but you didn't come together all at once
no you came in phases
craters lose their insides
to the skies
and about the way
these bodies move their hearts from side to side
while you're breaking apart and don't know why
sometimes things explode
from the inside and work their way out
i know you had a finger on the match
when the fire first appeared
i know you had a talent
for possession of the flame
but know it seems like fire
is less the tool and more the message
of so many things you thought you could control
it's time to educate
these bodies move their hearts from side to side
while you're breaking apart and don't know why
sometimes things explode
from the inside and work their way out
i know your good intentions are
a moon that's spun around you
so many times you'd just as soon
let them slip away
but you are the nucleus
you hold the atom
the universe should be afraid
cause one split hair could cause
a chain reaction, cut the magnet
lose the weight and send
these bodies move their hearts from side to side
while you're breaking apart and don't know why
sometimes things explode
from the inside and work their way out
your signal's breaking up
i think you blew away
no you are a body floating on a hammock
with the sunlight floating in your hair
but you didn't come together all at once
did you? no you came in phases
and the craters lose their insides
to the skies
and fill with water
and the change isn't ironic
if there was nobody there to notice it
and we form these comets
the plates crash together sometimes
these bodies move their hearts from side to side
while you're breaking apart and don't know why
sometimes things explode
from the inside and work their way out
