So it goes
When science keeps disproving things that everybody knows
Got to find a place to hide your faith
build a thicker wall

Deeper in
it takes you to a darker place where doubts and shouts begin
Got to try to solve the mysteries
the theory of it all

(chorus:)
Break it down break it down
the fundamental physics of the thing is what we try to find
Break it down break it down
try to see what lurks behind

We've adored
those kits and bits of soldering a circuit board
The heat, the smell awakes in us
connection to the core

Makes us laugh
the flash and splash of bringing up a photograph
see the silver oxide work for us
revealing ever more

(ch:)
the fundamental physics of the thing is what we try to find
Break it down break it down
try to see what hides behind

Break it down break it down
elemental building blocks are there to move around
Break it down break it down
look and see what we have found

Far above, where we look to find reflections of our deepest love
there's no need to subdivide the heart
or to tear it apart, break it down

Space and time
a captivating jungle gym for every boy to climb
the thrill's about discovering
an answer for the day

Not their trip
the passion to examine one's relationship
that's a game for someone else to play
a chromosome away

(chorus)
