lyrics

I'm counting on something
An unknown quantity
To tell me I'm doing A-OK

I'm living and dying
Simultaneously
My fingers are counting time, two, three

One through four
Give or take a variation
Seven more
To complete the great equation

She's laughing, I'm silent
I'm all wound up inside
As moody as a violin

The coffee, the coffee is on,
The coffee is on the table
She's grinding figures like my dad

One through four
Give or take a variation
Seven more
To complete the great equation

I've paid the piper twice
I bought myself a pocket calculator
In the dark it shines so bright
I get it right sometimes

I'm sleeping with fever
And dreaming elephants
My pillow remembers things for me

One through four
Give or take a variation
Seven more
Complicate the whole affair

Three makes nine
Which is fine if that's your kind of number
Seven more
To complete the great equation
