I took your cigarettes to our secret place I knocked on every door in your estate I've seen the cavalry march for peace But I haven't caught a glimpse of you in weeks If I have to split every atom, Just to find a trace of you That's what I'll do I swam around the Lusitania and sang your name I carved your silhouette with a rusty blade I caught a cavalier and a king or two But I couldn't get a peep out of them on you But if I have to split every atom, Just to find a trace of you That's what I'll do From the blue Olympus Mountain to underneath the carpet And your mother hit the roof when I dug up all her orchids But I said I would, and that's just what I'll do That's what I'll do I waited round til the edge of time I saw comets fly, Andromeda and the Milky Way collide Because if I have to split every atom, Just to find a trace of you If I have to split every atom That's what I'll do That's what I'll do
