Carbon Songtext
von Simon Bookish

Spaceship Earth is buried
Under a thick black dust
Buckminster Fuller
Let me shake you by the hand, I must
Quick sketch scene in charcoal
We′re nearly done, done it
Grind out a diamond
Before the Sun goes supernova

Young man, you amaze me
Architect, visionary
Young man, you amaze me
Eat me, eat me, eat me
Young man, you amaze me
Show me your sweet DNA
Crystalline debris
Show me, show me, ah!


Lake Michigan exhibits
A meniscus of petrol
Stare into the Sun
Blinded by the spectral
Grass gold, the diamond
Sketch and graphite pencils
Print ten thousand copies
Use Xerox, use stencils

Young man, you amaze me
Engineer, poet
Young man, you amaze me
Clothe me, kill me
Young man, you amaze me
Show me your sweet DNA
Observing this C60
Show me, show me, ah!

Young man, you amaze me
Architect, visionary
Young man, you amaze me
Eat me, eat me, eat me
Young man, you amaze me
Show me your sweet DNA
Crystalline debris


Show me, show me
Young man, you amaze me
Engineer, poet
Young man, you amaze me
Clothe me, kill me
Young man, you amaze me
Show me your sweet DNA
Observing this C60
Show me, show me, ah!

Woah, woah, woah, woah
