The Calculation

You went into the kitchen cupboard

Got yourself another hour

And you gave half of it to me

We sat there looking at the faces

Of these stranges in the pages

'Til we knew 'em mathematically

They were in our minds

Until forever

But we didn't mind

We didn't know better

So we made our own computer

Out of macaroni pieces

And it did our thinking while we lived our lives

It counted up our feelings

And divided them up even

And it called that calculation perfect love

Didn't even know

That love was bigger

Didn't even know

That love was so so

Hey Hey Hey

Hey this fire it's burnin'

Burnin' us up

Hey this fire it's burnin'

Burnin' us

Up

So we made the hard decision

And we each made an incision

Past our muscles and our bones

Saw our hearts were little stones

Pulled them out they weren't beating

And we weren't even bleeding

As we lay them on the granite counter top

We beat 'em up

Against each other

We beat 'em up

Against each other

We struck 'em hard

Against each other

We struck 'em so hard

So hard

Until they sparked

Hey this fire it's burnin'

Burnin' us up

Hey this fire it's burnin'

Burnin' us Up

Hey this fire it's burnin'

Burnin' us

Up
