MODEST MOUSE
"Calculus Man"

Oh, the stars, they shine on; they get out of my eye
The stars, they shine on; they shine on this planet
And the stars are projectors
Projectin' our lives on down to this planet
The stars, they are on
And projecting our lives down to this planet
Fine, I don't care if they do

And the stars
They're projecting our lives onto this planet
Oh yeah, the films we're watching
As you have said now
You get on your knee, your mouth is my mood
If you were talkin' out loud
You'd say, "Oh, hey, what it do?"

And I can't find my mouth
And my words, they can't make it
To my mouth out of all my brain
And you say what to do
And we do what you said
And you're talking out of tune
Talking out of a threat I won't want
I get on, I get off
I get the things you don't want

And I walk through my head
And I walk through my hell
And I walk through my head
And I know I ain't going nowhere
And I talk to myself
And I talk to my head
I'm walking around
The planets, they revolve around themselves; they evolve
If you were talking to God, you were talking to Mom
And you were saying things
Now, your mouth was moving
Out loud, you said, "I can't."

The planets are projectin' us all around
And the stars
They're projecting our lives on this earth
And the stars are projectors
Projecting our lives onto this earth
I watch you play it out
You moved your mouth and you said what you were worth
