Excerpt:
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 burnin’ Burnin’ us up
