You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

On your own heart

I had no place to put myself

But I had lots of time

I had no place to put myself

But I had lots of time

I had no place to put myself

But I had lots of time

So I threw out some past

And made room for more future

Now I'm standing on the scene

Between my memories and dreams

Balanced on the scene

Between my memories and dreams

Floating down the stream

Between my memories and dreams

And I see a better person

Waiting his turn to be me

And you don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

On your own heart

Now I'm running down the runway

In between gigantic numbers

I'm running down the runway

In between gigantic numbers

I'm running down the runway

In between gigantic numbers

With my knapsack

And a zero for a halo

And my halo's got a hole in it

So it don't keep me dry

My halo's got a hole in it

So it don't keep me dry

My halo's got a hole in it

So it don't keep me dry

But it's ok 'cause

My brain is my heart's umbrella

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

On your own heart

I had a girl I had to leave

But I saw her face upon my sleeve

I had a girl I had to leave

But I saw her face upon my sleeve

I had a girl I had to leave

But I saw her face upon my sleeve

It kept talking

So I put it in the laundry

And as it spun and spun

It tried to ask me what I'd done

And as it spun and spun

It tried to ask me what I'd done

And as it spun and spun

It tried to ask me what I'd done

But I was gone

On down the road out to the lane

'Cause you think patience is a virtue

And what you don't know can't hurt you

And that events can change and shape us

More than we can change ourselves

And that conscious attempt at growth is stupid

And I should just relax and be myself

And even think it's arrogant to cry

But you don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

You don't have to be a scientist

To do experiments

On your own heart
