Dimension

When some people try to make an impression They talk about things like a fourth dimension I think they're making a futile extension Maybe even going the wrong direction Dimensions can come in a fraction Take for example the first dimension One point six Would be a line made of sticks One point nine Would be a high voltage line And then take the second dimension Two point four Would be a bump in the floor Two point five eight Would be a wrinkled portrait And finally the third dimension... Well, you can't go any higher than that Even if you get real fat By holding your breath You can puff out your cheeks And stretch out your arms And jump up and down But out through your lips the air finally leaks And there might be some funny farms That try to take you in as a clown So don't even try To reach through the sky Go with what you got It's enough, it's a lot... So when people try to make an impression And talk of things like a fourth dimension Say "wow that's really deep" Pretend you're amazed, even though you're not But you, you gotta keep Going on with what you got Keep chuggin' along with what you got
