The Calculation - Regina Spektor

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

Till 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

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 them out they weren’t beating and we weren’t even bleeding

As we lay them 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
