Splitting the Atom in Eden

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
