Beautiful and trivial and baby just out of reach
Cold mathematics making its move
Cold mathematics making its move on me now

And I’ll hold you in my arms
Cold mathematics making its move
To the unforgiving sound
It’s funny how I always seem to alienate the people I like
Cold mathematics making its move on me now
Cold mathematics making its move on me now

Of cold mathematics making its move on me now
Of cold mathematics making its move on me now
And I’ll hold you in my arms

The only place I have left to go
Trying to impress, one day I will learn to shine
Warm starts the great silence
Cold mathematics making its move
Peacocks on the chopping block and in the blocks
And I’ll hold you in my arms
So hear the unforgiving sound
My hopes are burning
