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
|
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
|
3.1415926 a work of fiction
|
ever think the circle is a trick?
|
grab a pen ill add it to the list. of comprehension
|
3.1415926
|
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
|
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.
