Mental Arithmetic - Big Zero

Zero’s in the rarest order

Stuck on the fences by the border

Stopping people, holding court

We’re the ones who can’t be bought

It’s not enough to say you wanna' join in the groove

You gotta' prove it with your red shoes

It’s not the same to say it’s only part of the game

You’ve got to play it right

A man was born in Greater Greece

He believed the world should know

He was drowned beneath sea

'Cause squares ain’t always rational

Don’t divide this

Total abyss

Not negative, not positive

But I hold all the power

It’s not enough to say you’re just afraid of the void

It’s all that’s left when the world’s destroyed

It’s not the same to same to say it’s all a case of decay

Be Zero’s acolyte

A quantity is something or nothing

The numbers between are a lie

Vanishing before the beginning

Coming forth before we all die

Repeat after me, repeat after me, repeat after me

Nothing comes from nothing

Nothing ever could

Indian numerals

Barely understood

Nothing comes from nothing

Nothing ever could

Indian numerals

Barely understood

It’s not enough to feel the gravitational waves

When you’ve got rocket-powered roller-skates

It’s not the same just sitting in your room everyday

'Cause Zero’s infinite

Warclaw Sierpinski thought he’d left a bag at home

His wife said «No, all six are right there on the ground»

«That can’t be right,» he said «I've counted several times»

«I'll try again, there’s zero, one, two, three, four five»
