lyrics
(physical evidence) I swam four hours a day for eleven years of my life Same pool, same lane, same black line on the bottom And people say I must have hated it and I loved it I loved knowing exactly what my body was for And now I do this instead Same discipline, different room Everybody thinks it is abandon and it is arithmetic Physical evidence, physical evidence The proof is in the doing and the doing is the point Physical evidence, physical evidence I am not losing control, I have never once lost control There is a photograph of me at fifteen on a starting block Same face I make at the drop. Exactly the same face. Physical evidence, physical evidence The proof is in the doing and the doing is the point Physical evidence, physical evidence I am not losing control, I have never once lost control (the point)
