Lyrics

Under the magnifying glass,

there's an entire little

city

Green fiberglass planes with little copper roads

Tiny silver resistors carrying their loads

Capacitors standing tall like little water towers

microchips glowing with secret mini powers with my

Soldering iron heating silver drops of tin. I pave a little

pathway where the currents can begin

little silver stars on a circuit board map

Bridging every jump, closing every gap

The Biomed builds a city in the palm of her hand

The quietest metropolis in all the clinical land

Twinkle, twinkle, copper trace

Keeping every monitor in its proper place

The little city is awake

Look at the green lights glow
