Lyrics

The 4th Dimension

I tried and tried, finally I realized

Why she left this 3D world behind

Go!

She got tired of the same old story

She had a mind that would not quit

She'd insist a plot must exist

With an ending that she could not guess

She tried hard to convince me

Then she took off like a bright idea

She believed there just had to be

A movie that she'd never seen

I watched as her fingers drew

A perfect line in space

I watched as she looked on through

Into another place

She found out what she'd been missing

She decided she could change her luck

She was right, life's not black and white

It's something more than meets the eye

I watched as her fingers drew

A perfect line in space

I watched as she walked straight through

Into another place

She parted with convention

Now she's living in the 4th dimension

Without me

I watched as her fingers drew

A perfect line in space

I watched as she walked straight through

Into another place

I tried and tried and still I don't know why

She left me no address or a way to guess

I tried and tried, finally I realized

Why she left this 3D world behind

Now she's somewhere in the 4th dimension

She's living in 4D

She found herself a new direction there

She's living without me

She's living in 4D

She's living without me

Somewhere in the 4th dimension

She's living in 4D

She found herself a new direction there

She's living without me

She's living in 4D

She's living without me

She's living in 4D
