Keep all the tea in China
All the tin in Aberdeen
There's just no way to strike
A bargain with the cold machine

You can dance around the subject
Fight about it till we're gray
It never seems to make
The slightest difference anyway

It's all around you
You can feel it on your tongue
The taste of Isaac's Law
The taste of Isaac's Law

Never mind the architecture
Leave the details to the young
It makes for fairly decent reading
When the monkey's done

You can stand and face the music
Block an ear against the noise
Make no mistake about
The howling of your master's voice

It's in the system
You can feel it in your bones
The ache of Isaac's Law
The ache of Isaac's Law

Making time with Maxwell's demon
Take a powder, lose the doubt
There's just no way to keep
The precious stuff from running out

Keep all the tea in China
All the bones in Amon Lhaw
There's just no way to strike
A bragain when it's Isaac's Law

There's no mistaking
When it's wrapped around your heart
The hand of Isaac's Law
The hand of Isaac's Law
