[00:07.13] You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator
[00:11.46] And together we'll work out on the escalator
[00:15.05] I will time you as you run up the down
[00:18.15] And you'll measure my footsteps as I pleasure this town
[00:21.90] The mean of our heights is divided by the nights
[00:25.36] Which is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fights
[00:29.10] The pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
[00:32.99] And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it
[00:36.96] Oh, academia
[00:41.78] You can't pick me up
[00:45.57] Soothe me with your words
[00:49.32] When I need your love
[00:51.72] I am a dash and you are a dot
[00:55.07] When will you see that I am all that you've got?
[00:58.86] I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
[01:02.44] But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
[01:06.36] I'm greater than x and lesser than y
[01:09.51] So why is it that I still can't catch your eye?
[01:13.76] You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
[01:17.38] While I sit here drawing circles, I'm afraid of being hurt
[01:21.07] Oh, academia
[01:26.15] You can't pick me up
[01:30.03] Soothe me with your words
[01:33.64] When I need your love
[01:36.00] You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
[01:39.38] Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on
[01:43.14] It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
[01:46.79] It appears to me the pen has over analysed again
[01:50.63] And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one
[01:54.18] And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
[01:57.91] And if you are a number you're infinity plus one
[02:01.66] And if I am four words then I am needing of your love
[02:05.45] Oh, academia
[02:10.37] You can't pick me up
[02:14.12] Soothe me with your words
[02:17.95] When I need your love
[02:22.95]
[02:38.93] Oh, academia
[02:43.92] Academia
[02:47.74] Academia
[02:53.70] Oh, academia
[02:58.50] Academia
[03:02.51] Academia
