letra de checking the arithmetic - dave stringer
if life were a cool calculation
where all of the numbers compute
then one could sum all of creation
and reduce it all down to the root
but my mind is a multiplication
of chance and illusion and doubt:
i’m confused and impatient
a fool at foundation
i never will figure it out
am i just a mutation with a curious urge?
an endless vexation, a mistake that recurs?
a singular statistic, a product of the dice?
checking the arithmetic, it’s not quite right…
i questioned a mathematician:
my life is uncertain and strange
tell me what of the human condition
can the priesthood of science explain?
she said: life is a state of transition
a pattern of chaos and change:
of loss and division
and love insufficient
to answer the problem of pain
am i just a tangle of jumping nerves
or a point on a line describing a curve
i’m baffled beyond logic
and searching for insight
checking the arithmetic and it’s not quite right…
if i only know what i am feeling
and can’t prove the world outside
then standing or kneeling
or staring at the ceiling
you’ve gotta have faith as your guide
the world of sensation
is a puzzling equation
a persistent hallucination
so you’ve gotta have faith as your eye…
am i just an ache in a painful world
dreaming awake in a reciprocal blur
fl!ckering in physics’ cinema of sight?
checking the arithmetic, it’s not quite right….
