Lyrics

The object of my ardour’s not a boy or a girl
The object of my ardour’s not of this world
The thing that I love can be touched only by a mind
But this love that I’m feeling ain’t the Platonic kind

I want to make sweet love to wisdom

When I ride the subway, I get funny looks
’cause I’m searching for wisdom in dusty old books
And the librarian is always telling me to keep it down
But I can’t hide the joy I feel when wisdom is found
Like everything beautiful, it is tyrannical
Although it ain’t concrete, I want to get physical
So when people tell me that I’m being dumb
I say I don’t care about smart
I only want wisdom

I want to make sweet love to wisdom

Spent my life searching for my other half
I went to all the lectures in the symposium
All the wrestling with boys and the tumbling with girls
And I still couldn’t find the One
I was feeling misdirected
Until I found dialectic
And what the Sophists didn’t know
That they didn’t know
What the Sophists didn’t know
That they didn’t know
Is all I know
Is the art of love

I want to make sweet love to wisdom
