lyrics

I got lost on an Elephant road
My head spinning
And how time passes 
Heaven knows
You wake up in a carnival occasion
You can’t help moving around
The heat blazing
We shared a kiss outside a cash dispenser
And I’m glad that we did
We ignored some stormy weather
You know, feed a flower it grows
Treat it sour it shows
But we could always go to the movies

We got science
We got maths
You’re staying after class

We got science
We got maths
Stick to the cycle path
A higher pass
Just riding past

So we resume this trip with bridges burnt
Keep travelling on but to where we’re not concerned
I’ve got to know my route round most these service stations
Can’t get complacent while this world’s still young
So you can run on ahead I’ll just keep tearing round corners
Taking it in
See me leaping through wardrobes
This race is finished
A crowd cheers
But see the man in the red clutching his water like a trophy

We got science
We got maths
And I don't care about psychology



We got science
We got maths
You know science like biology

We got science
We got maths
From the reindeer to the wallaby

We got science
We got maths
And we don't need your terminology

Keep it specific
Scientific
You must have missed it
Like deep physics
I mean business
I’m not a businessman
I’m a busy man

Let’s bring it to the proverbial periodic table
Been on the journey early since Blue Peter got Mabel
I need it like school jumpers need your name upon the label
And to play ping pong in a credible way you need a flipping table
Not apathetic like these clowns in the circus bored
Keep spinning round this country
Electric like a circuit board
Get in the deep end
Stick your head beneath the surface water
Asleep in Victoria
Awaken in the Northern Quarter
‘Cause there’s more to life than counting minutes you can’t stop it
Ignore the clock
Chuck the sundial in a shadow puppet
‘Cause I’ve played to a thousand
And I’ve played to seven people
But if those seven people each in turn told seven people
And those seven people continued this game of recall
Then that’s ….142?




Anyway that’s not the point like wrong decimals
You can cause an avalanche from just a few decibels
I’m home down these train tracks
Coach seats lets face facts
Don’t trace back like Hansel & Gretel it’ll get gory
See some easy sweets and it’s more feasible to ignore me
But concentrate and listen to the moral of that story
Don’t scoff a gingerbread cottage with your backs hunched
Walk straight past that witch’s house
And take a packed lunch
You’re holding on to that tension in your back you’re so stressy
I’m driving off into freedom I’m like Jesse
Pinkman I’m a figment of your imagination
Sometimes I feel like an overworked doctor
Got too much patience /patients
‘Cause I’m in it for the long haul
Don’t leave an answerphone message
If you think you made the wrong call
It’s not that I just want to do this
I flipping have to
When I worked in a school
I tried to ship my demo in the lunch queue
And in the playground got embroiled in a far too serious for infants rap battle
‘Cause this is the absolute essence of my being
My eyes are always looking
I’m still working on the seeing
So throw away your caution
Hold off your apprehension
Else I got science
You just got after school detention
