fire up the beam
turn off the lights
fill the coffee pot
no one's gonna die
is the sensor on?
don't mind the buzz
the magnets are fine
just a routine alarm
frightened by the thought
of black holes forming by the thousand
they collapse upon themselves
and leave the universe that wrought them
as we quantify the moment
that unfolded from the order
of a singularity
that couldn't keep it all together
we'll know much more when we collide
(nuclei at the speed of light)
detectors are all on and primed
(we've got physicists on every side)
i might even question wisdom of our focus on beginnings
my colleagues in the past ignore future implications
focus on the source of a fundamental order
(don't you fucking move, i'm about to science)
frightened by the thought
of black holes forming by the thousand
they collapse upon themselves
and leave the universe that wrought them
as we quantify the moment
that unfolded from the order
of a singularity
that couldn't keep it all together
start the data stream
look them each in the eye
it's not every day
you win a nobel prize
fire up the beam
no one's gonna die
all eyes on the screen
i might even cry
we'll know much more when we collide
(nuclei at the speed of light)
detectors are all on and primed
(don't you fucking move, i'm about to science)
a little faster and then we'll align the beams
accelerate
