 The hour
 The hour
 The hour
 The hour
 Fig.1 and Fig.2 throughout
I  pushed a note  under your  door
Here's  how it goes,  things come to blows,  but we don't want  this anymore
 No we don't want this  anymore
 We don't want this  anymore
 I crack the codes you end the war
I  hear the clockwork in your core
Time  strips the gears till you forget  what they were for
I  push the numbers through your pores
I  crack the codes I crack the codes  that end the war
How's my living
You can call
Encrypted numbers  on
Bathroom stalls,  there's
Something burning,  it
Casts a pall,  it's
Melting  numbers  right
Off the wall
I  run the numbers through the floor
Here's  how it goes, I crack the codes,  I crack the codes, you end
 The war
 Repeat and fade
 The hour,  the hour, the hour, the hour,
 The hour,  the hour, the hour, the hour...
