49 Percent

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

I won't try to dent you right

Or stop your flight

I've known our plight

You know I'm right

I know about your little fling

How you hide your ring

You senseless thing

I'll cut this string

The heat has simmered for a while

It's not my style

So versatile and with a smile

At anytime, I could explode

When you kissed your toad

You killed your prince if ever so

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

Bit off more than one could bite

And the taste is slight

It leaves this dullish appetite

About time I've finally seen the light

And said goodnight

For the sling is tight

We'll lose this fight

In a corner painted white

As you fly your kite

I shun the sight, i've seen the light

And now i've got to say goodnight

You know I'm right

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

I won't try to stop you flight

Or change your night or nothing

Less than half

Why won't you try

To make this damage better

Math and imagery

Equates cacophony

Multiplies muteness

A sum better disturbed

For silence subtracts

And shadows divide light

Less than half is slight

The heat has simmered for a while

The heat has simmered for a while

The heat has simmered for a while

The heat has simmered for a while

The heat has simmered for a while

Fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing

Oh fourty-nine percent

One percent short of half

And less than half

Ain't really much of nothing, yeah

The heat has simmered for a while

The heat has simmered for a while

The heat has simmered for a while
