Meet me on the corner by the fire escape and I'll be waiting 

Every inch of back roads that have put me here will disappear 

And I'll hold you in my arms 

Cold mathematics making its move on me now 



Peacocks on the chopping block and in the blocks, my hopes are burning 

Beautiful and trivial and baby just out of reach 

So hear the unforgiving sound 

Of cold mathematics making its move on me now 



Warm starts the great silence 

The only place I have left to go 

And I'll hold you in my arms 

Cold mathematics making its move on me now 



It's funny how I always seem to alienate the people I like 

Trying to impress, one day I will learn to shine 

To the unforgiving sound 

Of cold mathematics making its move on me now 



And I'll hold you in my arms 

Cold mathematics making its move on me now 



Cold mathematics making its move 

Cold mathematics making its move 

Cold mathematics making its move
