Dismal Science Lyrics

I've been making calculations

To see how much I really need you

I've been working out the odds

Of my dreams ever coming true

And I've drawn up charts and graphs

To try and figure out

What is essential

And what I can live without

And it's a dismal science

But I've got to take a stand

And it's a dismal science

But I've got to play the cards

That are in my hand

I've plotted all the data

And my analysis is in

But my conclusions are unnerving

And I don't know where to begin

We've been together such a long time

And I know it may seem cruel

But all the signs point to the fact

That to stay I'd have to be a goddamn fool

And it's a dismal science

But I've got to take a stand

And it's a dismal science

But I've got to play the cards

That are in my hand

It's a dismal science

And I know it's not that kind

But it's a dismal science

And I've got to walk away

For my peace of mind
