[Verse 1]
You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
And gave half of it to me
We sat there looking at the faces
Of the strangers in the pages
'Til we knew them mathematically

[Pre-Chorus 1]
They were in our minds until forever
But we didn't mind, we didn't know better

[Verse 2]
So we made our own computer
Out of macaroni pieces
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
And it called our calculation perfect love

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Didn't even know that love was bigger
Didn't even know that love was so, so, hey hey hey

[Chorus]
Hey, this fire
It's burning, burning us up
Hey, this fire
It's burning, burning us up
[Verse 3]
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
Past our muscles and our bones
Saw our hearts were little stones
Pulled them out, they weren't beating
And we weren't even bleeding
As we lay them on our granite counter top

[Pre-Chorus 3]
We beat them up against each other
We beat them up against each other
We struck them hard against each other
We struck them so hard, so hard until they sparked

[Chorus]
Hey, this fire
It's burning, burning us up
Hey, this fire
It's burning, burning us up
Hey, this fire
It's burning, burning us up

Oooh ohh oooh
Oooh ohh oooh
Oooh ohh oooh
Oooh ohh oooh
