lyrics

Mary:
Theres a luminescent string so fragile
from a butterfly's frail wings
made of random links and numbers
so tiny you can't see

That string leads to the rise of
giant empires not yet dreamed
if you catch just one glimpse of it
its beauty makes you weep

A child spirit wanders rainstorms
dancing in them like they're mad
if you find them and embrace them
they bestow on you a laugh

There's a lesser known equation
where x is your delight
and y is innocence
and it proves they both were right

And all the wonder
all the wonder you can see
sublimity

I've seen my share of horror
more than most you know
i know the weight of pain
that feels like more than you can hold

Yet in the depths of pi's long numbers
a creature roams the ciphers there
there’s redemption here in wonder
beauty that can still bring tears

In the deep of space there's a comet
where demon children play
and a bird of fire protects them
as they fly through cold, deep space

They're dead now all the others
and i am all that's left
we too were precious creatures
we too deserved to live

All the wonder
all the wonder you can see
sublimity

We thought inside the great unconscious
if we grew a special place
a charming town so quaint and wondrous
we could all live there some day

If enough people believed it
it would grow and become real
we'd move there and we'd not
become the things that kill

We tried to save the city
i know we have our share of sins
but we did the best we could
and i still want so much to live

There was nothing else quite like us
we were the only of our kind
can’t you see it's all so precious
this sweet and bitter life

All the wonder
all the wonder you can see
sublimity

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
