"The Calculation" Lyrics

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
