United Shapes

A guy came by here today
said he was from some kind of bureau
Wanted to know if I was OK
my lucky number and my brand of smokes

Told me to wait in the car for a while
taught me to drive around in perfect circles
He had number that I'd never seen
scratched problems in the dirt at his feet
then scrubbed them clean

Said he could fix me up
and make me happy again
Let's do some calculations
Let's build you a nice new friend

Some guys came by here today
and one of them looked like he could've been
you from a different life
His hair was longer and he wore nice pants

He showed me how to separate the light
Wanted to know if I knew what made airplanes fly
He took some measurements and wrote things down
Tore off long sheets of paper
let them float to the ground

Said he could fix me up
and take me back into time
to the year it was soft and cold
for months on end and the sun barely shined

We can fix you up
and make you good as new
Let's do some calculations
Run our hands all over you.
