Meet me on the corner by the fire escape and I'll be waiting Every inch of back roads that have put me here will disappear And I'll hold you in my arms Cold mathematics making its move on me now Peacocks on the chopping block and in the blocks My hopes are burning Beautiful and trivial and baby just out of reach So hear the unforgiving sound Of cold mathematics making its move on me now Warm starts the great silence The only place I have left to go And I'll hold you in my arms Cold mathematics making its move on me now It's funny how I always seem to alienate the people I like Trying to impress, one day I will learn to shine To the unforgiving sound Of cold mathematics making its move on me now And I'll hold you in my arms Cold mathematics making its move on me now Cold mathematics making its move Cold mathematics making its move Cold mathematics making its move
