1. BLACK MATH

Oh, don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well, my fingers definitely turning to black now

Yeah, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, and maybe that'll be nice, yeah

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
Well, the longer words are really breaking my back now

Yeah, maybe I'll learn to understand
I'm drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah

Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage

Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah

Well, listen master, can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers or the brain
That you're teaching the lesson?
Oh, I can't tell ya how proud I am,
I'm writing down things that I don't understand,

Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, and maybe that'll be nice

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


2. CARRY ON WAYWARD SON

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Ah

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming,
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man,
Well, it surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune,
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!

Carry on,
You will always remember
Carry on,
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry,
Don't you cry no more,

No more!
