Calculation Theme Lyrics by Metric

Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?

2003

[Chorus]
I'm sick, you're tired
Let's dance
Break to love, make lust
I know it isn't
I'm sick, you're tired
Let's dance, dance, dance
Cold as numbers but let's dance

As though it were easy for you to lead me
I could be passive, gracefully

[Verse]
Half the horizon's gone
Skyline of numbers
Half the horizon's gone
Working the numbers
'Til I'm sick

[Chorus]
Sleep don't pacify us until daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
Dizzy when we talk so fast
Fields of numbers streaming past

I wish we were farmers
I wish we knew how to grow sweet potatoes and milk cows

I wish we were lovers
But it's for the best

[Outro]
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Where is the love?"
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Who here is in line for a raise?"
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Where is the love?"
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Who put these bodies between us?"
