Get yourself a razor And take a good look in the mirror Doppelgangers all over town Your own mother couldn't spot you in a crowd now, no how. And the girls that you try to kiss They say "Hey... yeah. It's a deal breaker." They don't like the way that it feels They say "Hey... yeah. It's a deal breaker." Do yourself a favor And take a good look in the mirror Barbers in the east end of town Are you picking up what I'm putting down, now? And the girls that you try to kiss They say "Hey... yeah. It's a deal breaker." They don't like the way that it feels They say "Hey... yeah. It's a deal breaker." When the girls say, "you look weird." Just shave your beard. Want those bachelor days to disappear? Just shave your beard. Just shave your beard. Just shave your beard. Just shave your beard.

What number’s in your head? Is it irrational? I’m getting closer now… Not algebraic, it’s Transcendental... It is... transcendental... What number’s in your head? Is it least upper bound? How would you write it down? You use a decimal It’s transcendental... It is... transcendental... The sum... What number’s in your head? Is it a floating point? What do you use it for? You draw a squared circle Transcendental, It is transcendental... What number’s in your head? Standard or hyper-real? I’m drawing a real line… You’re being too complex Transcendental, It is transcendental... The sum...

They can give directions. Very good directions. How to do anything. How to get anywhere. Minnesota is nice. At least, that's what I think. There are 10,000 lakes, but there’s not a drop to drink Streets there are flat and wide but there’s no room to ride If you’re not six foot five, blonde-haired and blue-eyed They will look after their own (When it's cold) They only care for their own (when it’s cold) They will look after their own (When it’s cold) If you’re not one of their own (expect a cold shoulder) Where I’m from people look rough. Hey so what if they’re old? They work hard all their lives and they bleed black and gold! Last week they wrote 'bout us in the New York Times. So - come and see for yourself. I will share what’s mine. You look like one of our own (in black and gold) You could be one of our own (in black and gold) You look like one of our own (in black and gold) You could be one of our own (if you know what team to root for) It’s all downhill from here...

Let’s begin at the end Of our world, and our lives Don’t look back, let’s move on Who will turn off the light? And have I done all I could? And have I done all I could for you? They came down from the skies And saved us all
