Little Atoms

And if you still don't like my song then you can just go to hell

I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
With false and lovely modesty I can recall the names I'll miss

With false and lovely modesty I can recall the names I'll miss
I through some felicity may spin a tale of constant vice
There's still some pretty insults left and such sport in threatening
In the particle of me that cares for this
And for the sake of clarity they are faith, hope and charity
I took my better nature out, drowned it in the babbling stream

For the sake of purity I can recall the time and place
In the particle of me that cares for this
I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
In the particle of me that cares for this

My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games
My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games
In the particle of me that cares for this
With false and lovely modesty I can recall the names I'll miss
Took the blossom of my youth and blew it all to smithereens
Patience has her virtue still but every grace must have its price
But I cannot promise you I've said goodbye to childish things
Between wisdom and murder she gave up her, immaculate face

I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
I don't care if I'm right or wrong or if my typewriter can spell
My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games
