Numbers

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.
