Featuring excerpts from GK Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday

lyrics

To the mathematicians

Artistic Theory

A furious and incessant energy
rending all things in pieces

To the mathematicians, four is twice two
But two is not twice one.
Two is two thousand times one.

That is why
In spite of a hundred disadvantages
The world will always return
To the mathematicians

A difference of artistic theory
I don't understand you

To say that I am a portrait painter
Is an inadequate expression
I am a portrait

I understood
That he had proved
A theory
A theory of artistic difference

"It is...", said the professor
And went in

Through all this ordeal his root horror had been isolation
There are no words to express
The abyss between isolation and having one ally.

To the mathematicians, four is twice two
But two is not twice one.
Two is two thousand times one.
That is why
In spite of a hundred disadvantages
The world will always return
To the mathematicians

Artistic Theory

That is why
In spite of a hundred disadvantages
The world will always return
To the mathematicians
