You went into the kitchen cupboard, got yourself another hour And you gave half of it to me We sat there looking at the faces of these strangers in the pages Till we knew 'em mathematically They were in our minds until forever but we didn't mind We didn't know better So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces And it did our thinking while we lived our lives It counted up our feelings and divided them up even And it called that calculation perfect love Didn't even know that love was bigger Didn't even know that love was so, so Hey, hey, hey Hey this fire, it's burnin', burnin' us up Hey this fire, it's burnin', burnin' us up So we made the hard decision and we each made an incision Past our muscles and our bones, saw our hearts were little stones Pulled them out they weren't beating and we weren't even bleeding As we lay them on the granite counter top We beat 'em up against each other We beat 'em up against each other We struck 'em hard against each other We struck 'em so hard, so hard until they sparked Hey this fire, it's burnin', burnin' us up Hey this fire, it's burnin', burnin' us up Hey this fire, it's burnin', burnin' us up
