《Mandelbrot Set》歌词

[00:00:05] pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician

[00:00:12] every one of them is a splinter in my eye

[00:00:18] i hate the peano space and the koch curve

[00:00:21] i fear the cantor ternary set

[00:00:24] the sierpinski gasket makes me want to cry

[00:00:30] and a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings

[00:00:36] on a cold november day a man named benoit mandelbrot was born

[00:00:54] his disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights

[00:01:00] left him well equipped to face those demons down

[00:01:06] he saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules

[00:01:14] he used his giant brain and he turned the game around

[00:01:20] and he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head

[00:01:26] a bulbous pointy form

[00:01:29] he picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down

[00:01:39] just take a point called z in the complex plane

[00:01:49] and z3 is z2 squared plus c and so on

[00:01:52] if the series of z's will always stay

[00:01:55] close to z and never trend away

[00:01:58] that point is in the mandelbrot set

[00:02:01] mandelbrot set you're a rorschach test on fire

[00:02:04] you're a day-glo pterodactyl

[00:02:07] you're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire

[00:02:10] you're one bad-ass f**king fractal

[00:02:13] and you're just in time to save the day

[00:02:16] sweeping all our fears away

[00:02:19] you can change the world in a tiny way

[00:02:29] mandelbrot's in heaven, at least he will be when he's dead

[00:02:34] right now he's still alive and teaching math at yale

[00:02:40] he gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none

[00:02:46] and his geometry succeeds where others fail

[00:02:52] if you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings

[00:02:58] from a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home

[00:03:07] just take a point called z in the complex plane

[00:03:19] if the series of z's will always stay

[00:03:22] close to z and never trend away

[00:03:25] that point is in the mandelbrot set

[00:03:28] mandelbrot set you're a rorschach test on fire

[00:03:31] you're a day-glo pterodactyl

[00:03:34] you're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire

[00:03:37] you're one bad-ass f**king fractal

[00:03:40] and you're just in time to save the day

[00:03:43] sweeping all our fears away

[00:03:46] you can change the world in a tiny way

[00:03:52] and you're just in time to save the day

[00:03:55] sweeping all our fears away

[00:03:58] you can change the world in a tiny way

[00:04:01] go on change the world in a tiny way

[00:04:04] come on change the world in a tiny way
