The Calculation

Ah, Regina can be so groovy. This song fills today! And it's sunny and the sky is blue and dad said that I looked really elegant when he saw me from afar earlier on. I'm not happy, not at all, I'm heartbroken. But it's pretty out. And I saw a puppy on the subway today.

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

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, 'til 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
hey, this fire, it's burning, burning us up
