Simon Bookish - Synchrotron lyrics

Can you see Sirius? Do you know her luminosity? Can you read the stars? Though this is not astrology Do you know if you're alive or dead or asleep or awake? Could you tell at all? The only journey that I professed to know Was catalogs and indices Some queer, bookish Ulysses Can you build the atom? Particle by particle? Can you hear the stars? And the music of the spheres? Can you feed the entire population? Every boy, every girl? Could you supply them all? You thought you'd found the answer to everything Turns out you were wrong Assumed you weren't the idiot, but omniscient But you didn't build the synchrotron Can you see? Can you read? Can you think? Can you build? How insignificant you are
