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 strangers 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 burning

Burning us up

Hey this fire

It's burning

Burning us up

Oh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh



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 'em out they weren't beating

And we weren't even bleeding as we lay 'em 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 burning

Burning us up



Hey this fire

It's burning

Burning us up



Hey this fire

It's burning

Burning us up

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

Ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Whoo ooh ooh ooh

Ooh

Whoo ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
