John Greaves, Peter Blegvad, Lisa Herman - Pipeline текст песни

Here are two gentlemen and a lady contemplating a length of dug-up pipeline.
Figure B. illustrates the assertion --
"ambiguity can't be measured like a change in temperature"

Figure C. consists of a list of assorted equipage.
A gentleman imagines how the items on the list would look if only part exhumed.
(He thinks they wouldn't look unlike a length of pipe.)

"When you remove a rung from a ladder,
the whole is suddenly part, the part is whole.
But the hue and temperature of a pipeline are ineluctably parts,
without the pipeline they would cease to be."

"Anything you care to mention of three dimensions
(like a length of pipe) in a certain light
may be seen as the projection or the shadow
of an entity of four dimensions." -- see Figure D.
