One, two, three
One, two
One, two
Count to seven, never eight
One beat short of normal fate
Clapping rhythms no one knows
Dancing where the oddness flows
They keep asking why I'm late
But I arrive in seven-eight
They march in fours, I walk in sevens
They find their hell, I find my heaven
In asymmetric time
I'm living in seven-eight time
One step ahead or one behind
Never landing where you'd expect
Perfectly imperfect by design
Seven-eight time
Yeah, seven-eight time
Your metronome can't follow me
I'm syncopated, wild and free
When you hit one, I'm on the three
Mathematics of eccentricity
Don't try to make me keep your beat
My rhythm's got an extra feet
They march in fours, I walk in sevens
They find their hell, I find my heaven
In asymmetric time
I'm living in seven-eight time
One step ahead or one behind
Never landing where you'd expect
Perfectly imperfect by design
Seven-eight time
My seven-eight time
Count it with me now
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Break!
I'm living in seven-eight time
One beat short of the party line
They can't dance to what I am
But I don't need them to understand
Seven-eight time
This is my seven-eight time
One, two, three
One, two
One, two
(Count to seven, never eight)more
