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 the scene in charcoal
We′re nearly done (Done in)
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


Lake Michigan exhibits a meniscus of petrol
Stare into the sun
Blinded by the spectral
Grasp hold the diamond
Sketch in graphite pencils
Print 10, 000 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
