Capital I

[Verse 1]

He's keeping busy

He's bleeding stones

With his machinations

And his palindromes

Anything but hear a voice

That says that we're all basically alone

[Verse 2]

Poor Professor Pynchon

Had only good intentions

When he put his Bunsen burners all away

And turning to a playground in a petri dish

Where single cells would swing their fists

At anything that looks like easy prey

[Pre-Chorus]

In a nature show that some call harmless play

It was then he heard his intuition say

Then he heard his intuition say

[Chorus]

We all live in a capital I

We're keeping it clean

From the ground up to the sky

Some show no mercy

Whilе others are painfully shy

And he just wants to know thе reason why

Oh, he just wants to know the reason why

Yeah, he just wants to know the reason why

Oh, why

[Verse 3]

Why do they congregate in groups of four?

Scatter like a billion spores

And let the wind just carry them away

How can kids be so mean?

Their famous doctor tried to glean

As he went home at the end of the day

[Pre-Chorus]

From the nature show that rages every day

It was then he heard his intuition say

Then he heard his intuition say

[Chorus]

We all live in a capital I

We're keeping it clean

From the ground up to the sky

Some show no mercy

While others are painfully shy

Tell me, doctor, can you quantify?

Oh, tell me, doctor, can you quantify?

'Cause he just wants to know the reason why

Oh, he just wants to know the reason why

Ah

[Outro]

We're keeping busy

We're bleeding stones

Our machinations and our palindromes

Anything but hear a voice

That says that we are basically alone
