== Lyrics ==
 I tried and tried, finally I realized
 Why she left this 3D world behind
 Go!
 She got tired of the same old story
 She had a mind that would not quit
 She'd insist a plot must exist
 With an ending that she could not guess
 She tried hard to convince me
 Then she took off like a bright idea
 She believed there just had to be
 A movie that she'd never seen
 I watched as her fingers drew
 A perfect line in space
 I watched as she looked on through
 Into another place
 She found out what she'd been missing
 She decided she could change her luck
 She was right, life's not black and white
 It's something more than meets the eye
 I watched as her fingers drew
 A perfect line in space
 I watched as she walked straight through
 Into another place
 She parted with convention
 Now she's living in the 4th dimension
 Without me
 I watched as her fingers drew
 A perfect line in space
 I watched as she walked straight through
 Into another place
 I tried and tried and still I don't know why
 She left me no address or a way to guess
 I tried and tried, finally I realized
 Why she left this 3D world behind
 Now she's somewhere in the 4th dimension
 She's living in 4D
 She found herself a new direction there
 She's living without me
 She's living in 4D
 She's living without me
 Somewhere in the 4th dimension
 She's living in 4D
 She found herself a new direction there
 She's living without me
 She's living in 4D
 She's living without me
