Lyrics Mathematics - Van Der Graaf Generator

Mathematics

Here be numbers transcendental
On an imaginary axis spun
Decimal places without limit
And zero and one
Mathematics
Simply pure beyond belief
E to the power of i times pi plus one is zero
E to the power of i times pi plus one is zero
E to the power of i times pi is minus one
E to the power of i times pi is minus one
A single function, exponential
Just one addition must be done…
Multiplication in completion
Of zero, of one
Mathematics
Just so «wow» it brooks belief
(You'd better believe, you’d better believe it.)
