Down to the Atom
lyrics by Aaron Ondek

Endless streets meander the town.
Lets get discount at the store.

Large plate glass windows obscure.
What goods could they have in store.

I count on my fingers and toes.
Swivel chairs appear like a goat.

A call comes in on the radio.
We leave to get to the scene.

[Chorus]
Who could have done it?
The suspects are here now.

Cow, rock, bolt, atom.
Staple and Joe.

The rock was on an ocean cruise.
The field has been narrowed.

It could not be the rock.
So now it is down to five.
[End Chorus]

The crowd clears before our presense.
Yellow tape surrounds the area.

Wet paint on the ground.
Spilled there at three.

The crew is working in the small room.
We cast our heads about for evidence.

Light from the windows casts a hard shadow.
Darkness enshrouds like a soft pillow

[Chorus]
Who could have done it?
The suspects are here now.

Cow, bolt, atom.
Staple and Joe.

The cow and Joe have hands.
The field has been narrowed.

It could not be Joe or the cow.
So now it is down to three.
[End Chorus]

We were hanging out by the stairs.
Waiting for the forensics report.

I wonder what they will say.
Results are inconclusive, look deeper.

If it were not what it was then think again.
For it can be in, if it is not in pain.

So with the astounding logical proof we're done.
The atom was the one who spilled the paint.

[Chorus]
Who could have done it?
The suspects are here now.

Bolt, atom, and staple.

The bolt and the staple have metallic composition.
The field has been narrowed.

It could not be the bold or the staple.
So now it is down to the atom.
[End Chorus]
