The Calculation

[Verse 1] You went into the kitchen cupboard Got yourself another hour and gave Half of it to me We sat their looking at the faces Of the strangers in the pages Until we knew them mathematically [Bridge] They were in our minds Until forever But we didn't mind We didn't know better [Verse 2] 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 our calculation Perfect love Didn't even know That love was bigger Didn't even know Didn't even know that love was so, so Hey hey hey hey [Chorus] Hey this fire, hey this fire I'm burning us up Hey this fire, hey this fire I'm burning us [Verse 3] So we made the hard decision And we each made an incision Past our muscles and our bones Our hearts were little stones [Verse 4] Pulled them out they weren't beating And we weren't even bleeding As we lay them on our granite counter top We beat them up against each other We beat them up against each other We struck them hard against each other We struck them so hard, so hard til they sparked [Chorus] Hey this fire, hey this fire I'm burning us up Hey this fire, hey this fire I'm burning us up Hey this fire, hey this fire I'm burning us
