British Sea Power Atom (main) Lyrics

Atom (main) Lyrics

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

That's when it breaks, you know

That's when it falls apart

But that's the prize now



Oh, caveat emptor, open the atom's core

But that's the prize now

Oh, caveat emptor, open the atom's core

Oh, caveat emptor, open the atom's core, oh



Oh, oh, I just don't get it



And you keep slipping

Down the surface of things

I just can't take it now

I just can't wait for more



When you get down

Down to the sub atomic part of it

That's when it breaks, you know

That's when it falls apart

Oh, caveat emptor, open the atom's core, oh, oh



Oh, oh, I just don't get it, get it

Oh, I just don't get it, get it

Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it

I just don't get it, oh



No, I, I just don't get it

No, I, I just don't get it

Just don't get it, get it



Get it, get it, get it, get it

Get it, get it, get it, get it

Get it, get it, oh, get it



What's wrong with you?

Hey, lad

Hey, lad
