The Destruction of the Kola Superdeep Borehole Tower
Yeah
Two, one, two, one, two
Stick bright reflective tape to the collar of your shirt
Mind your business and you won't get hurt
Be true to the things you said you'd be true to
Always keep your objective in view
Keep two working contacts among your effects
See the tall poppies with their tender fragile necks
Solomon in all his glory not arrayed like these
Bending in the wind like pilgrims on their knees
Those who came to learn these lessons
Left no trace of their presence
Always have a flashlight, just in case
Show the world your true face
Burn such fuel as you need to burn
Learn to wait your turn
Count the heads in the bunks before you turn in for the night
Lace your boots up tight
Secure the rope to the pole
Keep a sense of wonder when you finally reach your goal
Those who came to learn these lessons
Left no trace of their presence
Leave nothing behind
Keep a positive thought in your mind
And if you can't find anything nice to say
Drift away
Retain a sense of grace when it's time to cut the cord
Crack through the crust, fall to your knees, and praise the Lord
Listen for the voices calling out from down below
Steady as you go
What will they say back home about you
Who always kept your objective in view
Whose effects included contacts that finally got found
Inside the Arctic Circle, scattered on the ground
Those who came to learn these lessons
Left no trace of their presence (yeah)
