Counting World

Numbers, numbers
Always numbers
Eating them
Sleeping them
Making them dance
Making them ‘work'
Work for me
Doing the numbers
Plugging in the numbers
Showing the numbers
Going to the numbers
Seeing the numbers
Numbers, numbers…

Numbers are gaining on me
Chipping away my freedom
Fencing me in
Forget the creative stroke
Just show me the numbers!
Art? Poetry?
I'm losing money!
Give me the numbers before I
Lose my shirt!
Numbers, numbers…

The world is going to hell in a handbasket
The numbers don't lie
Statistics, percentage,
Winners and losers
Points and scores
Who's got the advantage?
It's only a matter of time
The numbers will prove it
Give me a smooth curve
And they'll digitize it
Give me a fighting chance,
And the odds will be against it

Luminescent diamonds against a violet sky
Pulsing love with a big warm smile
Sea creatures waltz beneath them
Singing ‘hallelujah to the moon', in silent tongue
But the question is:
How many are they?
What is the percentage  
Of sea creatures to smiling diamonds?
Why one moon and 5 diamonds?
And what is their dollar value?
Just give me the numbers. Please!
For God's sake...the numbers, please!
I just need the numbers...
