lyrics

Shall I compare thee
to the fundamental theorem of algrebaic K-theory?
Like Pythagorus said something's deeply irrational
About the square root of 2 where the 2 are me and U

And words diminish these important things

Let me show you the numbers
Tell you in numbers
Lay down the numbers
Paint it by numbers 4 U

If my heart doubled in size
If the body round my heart doubled in size
If the world round my body around my heart doubled in size
You wouldn't notice at all - how conventional

And words diminish these important things

Let me show you the numbers
Tell you in numbers
Lay down the numbers
Paint it by numbers 4 U

It may be a fiction
But these mathematical theories like our love
Like everyone's love
Are a useful fiction indeed

And words diminish these important things

Let me show you the numbers
Tell you in numbers
Lay down the numbers
Paint it by numbers 4 U
All things considered
When I look at the figures
It's an elegant solution
A foregone conclusion
That me and you
Are equal to you and me
- QED
