Carbon

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

[Chorus 1]
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

Lake Michigan exhibits a meniscus of petrol
Stare into the sun
Blinded by the spectral
Grasp hold the diamond
Sketch in graphite pencils
Print ten thousand copies
Use Xerox, use stencils

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
