Lyrics
0:32Tenuous at best was all he had to say
0:34When pressed about the rest of it the world that is
0:39From proto-Sanskrit Minoans to Porto-centric Lisboans
0:43Greek Cypriots and and harbor-sorts who hang around in quotes a lot
0:48·
0:55Here's where things start getting weird
0:57While chinless men will scratch their beards
0:59And to their minds a sharpened axe
1:04Is brushed upon the Uralic syntaxes
1:08·
1:11Love of hate acts as an axis
1:14Love of hate acts as an axis
1:18First it wanes and then it waxes
1:34So procreate and pay your taxes
1:36·
1:36Tenuousness
1:36Less seven comes to three
1:42Them you us plus eleven thank the heavens for their elasticity
1:49And as for those who live and die for astronomy
1:57·
2:16Know when to stand or when to sit
2:17Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit
2:20Now who would want to know this
2:21·
2:32Who wants to look upon this
2:39Who wants to look upon this
2:43Pray tell
2:47Who wants to look upon this
2:53Who wants to look upon this
2:59Pray tell
3:10Pray tell
3:18·
3:20Tenuousness
3:23Less seven comes to three
3:25Them you us plus eleven comes just shy of infinity
3:30And as for those who live and die from numerology
Tenuous at best was all he had to say When pressed about the rest of it the world that is From proto-Sanskrit Minoans to Porto-centric Lisboans Greek Cypriots and and harbor-sorts who hang around in quotes a lot · Here's where things start getting weird While chinless men will scratch their beards And to their minds a sharpened axe Is brushed upon the Uralic syntaxes · Love of hate acts as an axis Love of hate acts as an axis First it wanes and then it waxes So procreate and pay your taxes · Tenuousness Less seven comes to three Them you us plus eleven thank the heavens for their elasticity And as for those who live and die for astronomy · Know when to stand or when to sit Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit Now who would want to know this · Who wants to look upon this Who wants to look upon this Pray tell Who wants to look upon this Who wants to look upon this Pray tell Pray tell · Tenuousness Less seven comes to three Them you us plus eleven comes just shy of infinity And as for those who live and die from numerology
