I'm not the freckled maid
I'm not the fair-haired girl
I'm not a pail of milk for you to spoil

Why are the wholesome things
The ones we make obscene?

Latin words across my heart
Symbols of infinity
Elements so pure
Atomic number

I am the spark
Of this machine
Purring like the city bus

Why are the wholesome things
The ones we make obscene?
Well if your mercy's lost
I have enough for us

Latin words across my heart
Symbols of infinity
Elements so pure
Atomic number

My atomic number
