lyrics

It’s hard to be the only one who knows something that’s true
To stand alone as colleagues groan 
They’ll never see as you
Though God may be infinity 
There’s countless more in space
Infinities of sizes, Infinities of place

CH: 
Cantor loved a good debate 
His data did the talking
 Ripping math almost in half 
Cantor’s mind was rocking

His notion of dimensions where numbers reign or kneel 
No greater power than Naturals 
No less power for Reals 
Though God may be infinity 
There’s countless more in space 
Infinities of sizes, Infinities of place

CH: 
Cantor loved a good debate
 His data did the talking 
Ripping math almost in half 
Cantor’s mind was rocking

Depressed, Cantor changed careers 
He argued Bacon wrote Shakespeare
 Left his lists of ordered sets 
That no one cared, his one regret 
Playing on his violin
 A sanitorium kept him in
 He knew it before anyone
 He didn’t live to see it done

CH:
Ripping math almost in half 
Ripping math almost in half
Ripping math almost in half
Cantor’s mind was rocking
