Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Think of a number, divide it by two
Something is nothing
Nothing is nothing
Open a box
Tear off the lid
Then think of a number
Don't think of an answer
Open your eyes
Think of a number
Don't get swept under
A number's a number
[Verse 2]
A chance encounter you want to avoid
The inevitable
So you do
Oh yes, you do the impossible
[Verse 3]
Now you ain't got a number
You just want to rhumba
And there ain't no way you're gonna go under
[Verse 4]
Go under, go under
Go under, go under
You tear me asunder
Go under, go under
Go under, yeah!
Written by: Bruce Gilbert, Colin Newman, Graham Lewis, Robert Gotobed
