text: You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator
  And together well work out on the escalator
  I will time you as you run up to down
  And youll measure my footsteps as I blow through this town
  The mean of our heights is divided by the nights
  Which is timesed by the daggers in the root of all our fights
  The pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
  And the beauty of the word is that you dont have to show it
  Oh, academia, you can pick me up
  Soothe me with your words when I need your love
  I am a dash and youre a dot
  When will you see that I am all that youve got?
  Im a binary code that youve cracked long ago
  But to you Im just a novel that you wish you never wrote
  Im greater than X and lesser than Y, so why is it
  That I still cant catch your eye?
  Youre a cryptic crossword, a song Ive never heard
  While I sit here drawing circles, Im afraid of being hurt
  Oh, academia, you can pick me up
  Soothe me with your words when I need your love
  Youre a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
  Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on?
  It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
  It appears to me the pen is overanalyzed again
  And if I am a number, Im infinity plus one
  And if you are five words, you are afraid to be the one
  And if you are a number, youre infinity plus one
  And if I am four words then I am needing of your love
  Oh, academia, you can pick me up
  Soothe me with your words when I need your love
  Oh, academia, academia, academia
  Oh, academia, academia, academia
