Should parallel lines never meet
Like sidewalks on a city street
Lines of longitude at the poles unravel
The planet’s skin unfolds, unzips, it tears, it rips
Its guts spill unceremoniously out to space
The world’s insane
The world’s insane
It never ever rains
It's all insane
The two poles spread Equator-wide
North-south train tracks they flare, divide
The Earth morphs to a Cartesian plane
Non-Euclidean geometries are deemed insane
The world’s insane
The world’s insane
It never ever rains
It's all insane
The globe flat, a wall chart
Pacific neighbours a world apart
As ocean floors meet the sky above
The birds and fishes together they fly
The world’s insane
The world’s insane
It never ever rains
It's all insane
