REGINA SPEKTOR lyrics : "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 burnin'
Burnin' us up


Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us..
Up


Ohhhhh
Ohh Ohh Ohh


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 burnin'
Burnin' us up


Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us up


Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us

Up

Ohhhhh

Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhh
Woooooooooooooooo

Woooooooooooooooo
Woooooooooooooooo
Ohh Ohh Ohhhhhhhh
