The Calculation
You went into the kitchen cupboardGot yourself another hourAnd you gave half of it to meWe sat there looking at the facesOf the strangers in the pagesUntil we knew them mathematically
They were in our mindsUntil foreverBut we didn't mindWe didn't know better
So we made our own computerOut of macaroni piecesAnd it did our thinkingWhile we lived our livesIt counted up our feelingsAnd divided them up evenAnd it called our calculationPerfect love
Didn't even knowThat love was biggerDidn't even knowThat love was so, soHey hey hey hey
Hey this fire, this fireI'm burning us upHey this fire, this fireI'm burning us upOh, oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo
So we made the hard decisionAnd we each made an incisionPast our muscles and our bonesSaw our hearts were little stones
Pulled 'em out they weren't beatingAnd we weren't even bleedingAs we lay them on our granite counter top
We beat 'em up against each otherWe beat 'em up against each otherWe struck 'em hard against each otherWe struck 'em so hard, so hard 'til they sparked
Hey this fire, this fireI'm burning us upHey this fire, this fireI'm burning us upHey this fire, this fireI'm burning us upOh, oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo oo oo [until the song fades]
