How did it start Did I fall into a nuclear reactor

And crawl out with acid skin or somethin' worse

A hostile alien ambassador

Or am I simply another of the universe's failed experiments

Either way I have been wonderin' just how it is Just how it is

I have never heard Never heard the tale of how I got my powers

Thrust into bein' careenin' along

On a crooked little trajectory

Dissolvin' in movement a body in orbit

Or a roach on his way to the gutter

The tail of a comet burned up in an instant the destruction of matter

No object to be seen in the supercollider

Just a light in the tunnel or whatever gets scattered

Light flashin' before the eye of whatever comes after

The force of our impact the fission

The hum of our contact the sound of our collision
