Numbers - Tub Ring

I had the dream again, the one where I just started to ascend

And my vision grew much clearer

Then all the people and the buildings and the ground began to blend

And I saw a set of numbers

I had the dream again, the one where I was forced to take a train

From Chicago to Atlanta

And when we reached top speed, I had to give the current ETA

So I grabbed a calculator

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my cells are all dividing

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my race is multiplying

I walked into a store and bumped into a pyramid of cans

And they fell into a pattern

And when the clerk came out, he pointed at the triangle he planned

And I had to know the tangent

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my cells are all dividing

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my race is multiplying

I still think we have at least a million years to go until we reach the end

Soon we’ll overthrow the sky and use it for ourselves and all we comprehend

3.1 415 926, a work of fiction

Ever think the circle is a trick?

Grab a pen, I’ll add it to the list of comprehension

I still think the odds are good that you can make a bet on what will be the odds

When the numbers shape our world and we control the shape, we’ll frolic with

the gods

Someone grab Fermat another drink to stop his shouting

Ask him what the other scholars think

If your margins are the missing link, I’ll buy you paper

Someone grab Fermat another drink

I still think we have at least a million years to go until we reach the end

Soon we’ll overthrow the sky and use it for ourselves and all we comprehend

And so the story ends without the world collapsing on itself

And my computer started flashing

And when I checked the net, I found that I accumulated wealth

So I almost started laughing

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my cells are all dividing

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my race is multiplying

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my cells are all dividing

Ooh, I’m a number, you’re a number, can’t you see?

And my race is multiplying
