Paul Simon - When numbers get serious lyrics

Your rating:

I have a number in my head 
Though I don't know why it's there 
When numbers get serious 
You see their shape everywhere 
Dividing and multiplying 
Exchanging with ease 
When times are mysterious 
Serious numbers are easy to please 
Take my address 
Take my phone 
Call me if you can 
Here's my address 
Here's my phone 
Please don't give it to some madman 
Hey hey, whoa whoa 
Complicated life 
Numbers swirling thick and curious 
You can cut them with a knife 
You can cut them with a knife 
Two times two is twenty-two 
Four times four is forty-four 
When numbers get serious 
They leave a mark on your door 
Urgent. Urgent. 
A telephone is ringing in the hallways 
When times are mysterious 
Serious numbers will speak to us always 
That is why a man with numbers 
Can put your mind at ease 
We've got numbers by the trillions 
Here and overseas 
Hey hey, whoa whoa 
Look at the stink about Japan 
All those numbers waiting patiently 
Don't you understand? 
Don't you understand? 
So wrap me 
Wrap me 
Wrap me do 
In the shelter of your arms 
I am ever your volunteer 
I won't do you any harm 
I will love innumerably 
You can count on my word 
When times are mysterious 
Serious numbers 
Will always be heard 
When times are mysterious 
Serious numbers will always be heard 
And after all is said and done 
And the numbers all come home 
The four rolls into three 
The three turns into two 
And the two becomes a 
One
