{Chorus :} But it was all in the scheme of things The shape of things to come Without that cog the thing won't run And you don't climb that ladder You're just the rung Cos it was all in the scheme of things The shape of things to come.
Aristotle hit the bottle And Plato loved the blow He said one plus one plus one is fun And left a note for Michelangelo.
{Chorus}
Your theories like Pythagoras Were there for you to use While you explored the triangle I learned to sing the blues.
{Chorus}
... all in the scheme of things The shape of things to come ... all in the scheme of things The shape of things to come.
