It’s poetry in motion

She turned her tender eyes to me

As deep as any ocean

As sweet as any harmony

Mmm – but she blinded me with science

She blinded me with science

And failed me in biology

When I’m dancing close to her

Blinding me with science – science

And failed me in geometry

She blinded me – with science

She blinded me with
