lyrics

I've got a system
It's not hanging on my wall
I've got a system
To make some sense of it all

It's not a mind map
Not a toolkit
Not a virtual whiteboard
It's a beacon, a bale fire
It's a system, it is mine

Time is a river without banks I'm well aware
Pi equals three, yeah god she bowed her head for math
How to capture
The very moment
Right after the picture's taken
Through the motions
Past the mind
Everything is intertwined

There's this running gag
I'll teach you how to dance

I've got a system
But the reason's lost mid air
(He's got a system)
Flicking lit cigarettes
To your sensible head
Now I'm floating
Modifying
Some would say recalibrating
Reassembling it from parts
Of a previous approach
