lyrics

My friend is the tortoise that lives on the hill,
His tardiness worries me still.
When he set off first with his worrying pace,
It began their paradoxical race.

“Achilles you run with the pace of a train”
“And me oh so slow, that I never caught my name”
If were placed forever in this prefix of time,
Then your God given legs won’t run faster than mine.

Ad Infinitum, so on and so forth,
Run all you like you can’t catch me of course,
Or maybe you might if these sums do equate,
But if we don’t set off we can never be late.

Beware shell’ed friend I may catch you its true,
Be it one million miles or an inch nearer you
But our race and this rhyme they frequent the absurd,
Like the sceptre of kings or the monkeys typ’ed word

“In the finite space, of this field we are in,
You can’t set off till you come back again”
Dividing up all of this infinite space,
Won’t shorten, however this race.

Ad Infinitum, so on and so forth,
Run all you like you can’t catch me of course,
Or maybe you might if these sums do equate,
But if we don’t set off we can never be late.

Ad Infinitum, I’m slower than you,
Run all you like you could catch me its true,
Or maybe you wont my unconquerable friend,
If we run in circles were never to end.

Our hero may run on forever its true,
But that distance aint needed for me to catch you
Because space is a time no division can fill,
And my friend on the hill, he worries me still

Mathematics is the key to the catching of you,
And unless you can count there is nothing you can do
It been two thousand years since this quandary occurred?
And Infinity is still, such a worrisome word.
