What are the lyrics to lose yourself in the digits?

Answer 1

Look, if you had one shot one opportunity

To recite the digits of the number pi One moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, head is heavy

The numbers cloud his vision already, keep it steady

He s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

To re-cite, but it s not quite off-settin

That he s froze now, and the whole crowd knows he vowed

To get it perfect, but the numbers won t come out

He s chokin , how everybody s jokin now

Three point one five woops kablouw!

Snap back to reality, oh, it s a malady

Oh, it s so random, he choked

He can t stand, but he won t give up

That easy, no

He won t have it, he knows all his fans really hope

He can shatter the glob

al world record of Fo

rty-two-thousand*, although

If-he-looks down at his notes, he knows that s when it s

Back to the learnin by rote

To feel rapture

He d better capture those digits a little faster

You better lose yourself in the digits of pi, it s a high

But you got a thousand more to go

The numbers do not stop

Or drop into pattern, no

And memorizin em takes most of a lifetime

If I m not mistaken, my memory s wakin

This number s mine for the taking

Hear it ring, as I list all the, digits in order

And whole numbers are borin , approximations just keep me snorin ,

Pi only grows longer to get more precise

A rounded-off fraction just won t cut the ice

So twenty-two sevenths, you take my advice

If I catch you round here, you will

Pay the price, so give up this fa ade,

Ray-shee-os are oh so flawed

They close the door to those who like infinite

Strings of oh s, 2s, 9s, 3 s, and 6 s, it

Shows the woes of-all-the schmoes who chose

To forgo Pi s logic, and I

Don t suppose those bozos applaud it

When I throw down the gauntlet, with a

Three point one four I got it!

You better lose yourself in the digits of pi, it s a high

But you got a thousand more to go

The numbers do not stop

Or drop into pattern, no

And memorizin em takes most of a lifetime

Pi is 3.141592653589793238462643383279

No more games, I m-a bust right outta my cage, and

Get my Pi-recitin groove on, on this here stage

I was playin in the beginnin , the mood all changed

I been broken up from soakin up this whole page

But I kept churnin and kept learnin to decipher

The rhythm of the number that makes me so hyper

All the pain and strife amplified by the

Fact that I can t get back to my life, I m

Whacked and I don t exactly know why, I m

Acting like I am attracted to Pi! So

Back to a kid jam-packed with random numbers

I think this whole process is makin me dumber

It still shakes me up, man, it makes me sentimental

That a number so essential is also transcendental

Caught up between bein in fashion and bein irrational

It s passion flashin through my brain

Whenever I explain it

I just think pi is nice, Would you... like a slice?

I ve gotten to the point, it s like a vice, I m not

Afraid of gettin' caught, but still it hurts a lot

Success is my only mathematic option, failure s not

Pi, I love you, but these people got to know

A million tiny circles haunt my every thought

So here I go with my shot

Brain, fail me not,

This may be the only opportunity that I got!

You better lose yourself in the digits of pi, it s a high

But you got a thousand more to go

The numbers do not stop

Or drop into pattern, no

And memorizin em takes most of a lifetime

Pi is 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459 yeeeah.

You can do anything you set your mind to, man. Even memorizin pi. I m out.
