This Human Equation

[Storyteller: Tom Baker]
Meanwhile…
The Angel and her furies are observing
All these earthly events from their vantage point
In Transitus
(Mmm)
They find the complexities of human nature
Fascinating – perplexing, and endlessly
Entertaining!
And they are determined to resolve
This human equation
(Hahaha – oh, poor people)

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
You'd think they were crazy
I’d almost says stupid
But they can be amazing
Although they don't look it

Yes, they can be charming
Uniquely disarming
Naive, but enchanting
On a good day they're
Gracious, well-mannered, endearing
Yes, dare I say
Nice!

They seem so contented
Yet inside so damn sad
They pretend to be decent
Then turn out to be bad

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They claim to be honest

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
But really they’re liars

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They try to be modest

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
But often they're
Cocky, conceited, pretentious, obnoxious, and vain

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
This human equation
Is driving us crazy

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
This human equation

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
This human equation

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Success and frustration

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
Wealth and starvation

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Moral stagnation

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
This human equation

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Evolved or creation?

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
The one explanation:
Universal migration!

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
They plan

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They scheme

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
They're not what they seem

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They hide

[Angel of Death and Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp]
Behind their disguise

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They're loud
They brag
They shout and they nag
But man what a drive
They're on fire
See them thrive
They're alive!

[Angel of Death and Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp]
This human equation
Is driving us crazy
This human equation

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
And yet
They amuse us (they amuse us)
Just because they confuse us (just because they confuse us)
For their logic eludes us (for their logic eludes us)
But their passion consumes us (but their passion consumes us)

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
You'd think they are crazy

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
I'd almost say stupid

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
But then they amaze you

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Although they don’t look it

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They seem so contented

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Yet inside so damn sad

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
They pretend to be decent

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Then turn out to be bad

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
And yet they amuse us

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Just because they confuse us

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
For their logic eludes us

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
But their passion consumes us

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
Yet they can be charming

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Uniquely disarming

[Furies: Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp]
Naive but enchanting

[Angel of Death and Furies: Simone Simons, Marcela Bovio & Caroline Westendorp]
On a good day they’re
Gracious, well-mannered, endearing
Yes, dare I say

[Angel of Death: Simone Simons]
Nice!
