Momus - Splitting the Atom in Eden lyrics

I close my eyes and I'm on Christmas Island
Marie
Don't need physics, it's a situation comedy
(In Polynesia) We sunbathe and we fall asleep
(In Polynesia) For fifty-seven years
Beside the Hydrogen Sea
We timed the punchline to a T

The comedians Pierre and Marie Curie
The comedians Pierre and Marie - live

From television city in New Mexico
From the air and in the lab and in the studio
Splitting the atom in Eden
Scraping the bottom of the world for gags
Adam and Eve will be splitting their sides
Laughing through their tears as
They pack their bags
Splitting the atom in Eden
Scraping the bottom of the world for gags
Adam and Eve will be splitting their sides
Laughing through their tears as
They pack their bags

The starter takes me back
To nineteen hundred-and-eight
To experiments, to Paris and the rain
(In the laboratory) The worker
Bee's a tragedy
(In the laboratory) Where anything
Could happen simultaneously
The revelation and the ray

Comedians Joliot and Irene Curie
Comedians Joliot and Irene - live

From television city in New Mexico
From the air and in the lab and in the studio
Splitting the atom in Eden
Scraping up the shells for Christmas Day
Adam and Eve will be leaving for hell
For Santa Claus and situation comedy
Splitting the atom in Eden
Scraping up the shells for Christmas Day
Adam and Eve will be leaving for hell
For Santa Claus and situation comedy
(For Santa Claus and situation comedy)
(For Santa Claus and situation comedy)
