[00:30.58] Tenuous at best was all he had to say
[00:34.68] when pressed about the rest of it, the world that is
[00:39.11] from proto-Sanskrit Minoans to Porto-centric Lisboans
[00:42.77] Greek Cypriots and and harbor-sorts who hang around in quotes a lot
[00:48.73]
[00:53.55] Here's where things start getting weird
[00:57.13] while chinless men will scratch their beards
[01:01.84] and to their minds a sharpened axe
[01:04.77] is brushed upon the Uralic syntaxes
[01:08.82]
[01:10.47] Love of hate acts as an axis
[01:13.07] Love of hate acts as an axis
[01:17.13] First it wanes and then it waxes
[01:24.57] So procreate and pay your taxes
[01:28.20]
[01:33.39] Tenuousness
[01:37.38] Less seven comes to three
[01:41.41] Them, you, us plus eleven thank the heavens for their elasticity
[01:53.51] And as for those who live and die for astronomy
[02:00.49]
[02:12.84] Know when to stand or when to sit
[02:16.86] Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit
[02:20.14] Now who would want to know this
[02:22.10]
[02:30.58] Who wants to look upon this
[02:37.61] Who wants to look upon this
[02:43.59] Pray tell
[02:47.51] Who wants to look upon this
[02:54.54] Who wants to look upon this
[02:58.59] Pray tell
[03:12.18] Pray tell
[03:14.38]
[03:16.26] Tenuousness
[03:19.63] Less seven comes to three
[03:23.66] Them, you, us plus eleven comes just shy of infinity
[03:33.92] and as for those who live and die from numerology
[03:44.81]
