Lyrics as follows:
THERMODYNAMICS OF LOVE (demo mp3)
First you have one
It says a ton
Basically saying that something can’t come from nothing
Gives you the sum, of things to and from, making it all – total up – all working out
CHORUS
I should have you all figured
With a law like this in mind
Listen to my reasoning
You should know by now
The thermodynamics of love.
Then you have two
Messing with you
Telling you life is a journey full of disorder
Giving off heat, ordinary feat, and telling you work a bit harder – figure it out.
CHORUS
ITS very simple
very rational
really excerptional
just universal
absolute zero
not moving on
stuck in a standstill
we’re not responsible.
FADE TO END
