What is the system that gets around?   Recruits hearts with its timeless rhythm   The young glow but old men know   It's all a part of some crazy schism      Comin' on like the dawn, unrelentin' light   Streets thick with its radiatin'   It's all a glow but we all know   True love is so complicated      Feelin' funny, don't know why   I'm on a plane circlin' high   Equation, persuasion   It's just persuasion      Who needs the body that has nobody?   Go through life with nobody at all   It come and go where the wind blow   When persuasion comes to call      Feelin' funny, don't know why   I'm on a plane flying too high   Invasion, persuasion   It's just persuasion   It's just persuasion   It's just persuasion      Got me reelin' don't know why   I'm on a plane circling high   Equation, persuasion   Got the feeling I'm runnin' in place   Caught in the orbit of the human race   Invasion, persuasion   It's just persuasion   It's just persuasion   It's just persuasion      Who needs the body that has nobody?   Who needs the rise without the fall?   Who needs illusion without beauty?   Who needs the system that's no system at all?      Hey scout, there's no equation   You can't prepare for the heart's invasion   You can't prepare for the heart's invasion   Love is its own persuasion   Love is its own persuasion   Love has its own persuasion
