Time Washing Machine
If you buy a rectangular box
And then take from it an oval cake
Then you cut a triangular piece
You learn: Geometry has a taste.
If I was perfectly logical
If I was totally absolute
I would have only moved up by the vertical
And put success in an endless loop.
Chorus:
But my life is built with a randomizer
My thoughts travel in a time washing machine
Comparing, remembering, recognizing,
Brains fueled with sugar and caffeine.
Ideas, doubts, frustrations
Growing big, cleaning up and rotating
Inside the time washing machine.
What is your fastest speed sitting still?
Show me maths and I'll read a story.
Quite a few bring up something new
Others are fine soaking up what's known.
Time is ticking with an irregular beat
Life is now, all in present continuous.
Perfect moment may never repeat,
So I'll use it to shorten the distance.
Chorus
If you buy a rectangular box
And then take from it an oval cake
Then you cut a triangular piece...
