    1. Soup

      Soup soup super soup supercollider soup
    • supercollider supercollider supercollider
    • They've got a supercollider near Geneva
    • so big it reaches under France
    • You know a supercollider shoots particles
    • so scientists can watch them dance.
    • They built a supercollider down in Texas
    • twenty miles of tunnels they could pave.
    • Cost so much to make they never finished it
    • They should have rented it out and had a rave.
    • I want a supercollider for my birthday
    • I've got a big basement I could fit it in.
    • I'll have you all come over for a party,
    • we can go downstairs and take that sucker for a spin
    • I don't know how to drive a supercollider
    • and I don't think they want to have me in the loop
    • but I know they better keep it to the speed limit
    • or we could all meet up in a cup of primordeal soup.
    • Soup!

    3. HANDS, Part 2

      Hands, look at your hands
    • I believe the grime under your fingernails shows what you've created
    • and the lines of how you're fated
    • Hands, all etched in your hands,
    • the remnants of the bricks that you've laid
    • mistakes that you've made
    • and the prices that you've paid
    • Hands, show me your hands
    • Show me the singular shape that your fingers make
    • when they are held out to be kissed
    • or curled in a fist.
    • All there in your hands
    • The reap and the sow, your high and your low,
    • the flux and the flow
    • I remember the feeling I had when I held up my infant overhead
    • how she fit in the hollows of my hands
    • so long ago but that pulse still remains there fluttering in my palms
    • Life abides in your hands.
    • Hands, open your hands
    • Raise your hands
    • In your hands, it's all in your...
