Lyrics Splitting the Atom - Massive Attack
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
a-
'fraid
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,
don't
let
it
go
It's
easy,
don't
let
it
go
It's
easy,
don't
let
it
go
Don't
Lose
It
Its
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,
don't
let
it
go
It's
easy,
don't
let
it
go
It's
easy,
don't
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
