lyrics

Swapping stories in your attic room
A manic pace pervades the afternoon
You light a cigarette, and crack a joke
Shattered sunlight dances in the smoke

The universe is in a grain of sand
And in each speck of dust that makes a man
Infinity is inside all we see
And you and me (see?)

Step outside to watch the sun go down
Shifting skies above the stony ground
Dying light, it gives the shadows life
They flit around the corner of my eye

The universe is in a grain of sand
And in each speck of dust that makes a man
Infinity is inside all we see
And you and me (see?)

Greying skies above the reservoir
Cast a wish upon the morning star
A new day's coming, just around the bend
A night like this, we'll not soon see again

The universe is in a grain of sand
And in each speck of dust that makes a man
Infinity is inside all we see
And you and me (see?)

The original internet release of this track featured excerpts in the middle section from a talk by Dr. Matthew S. Malek about supernova neutrinos and astro-particle physics. Unfortunately high-quality audio of this mix has been lost. Many thanks to Dr. Malek, and my apologies for leaving him out of this release!
