Pyramid Song is in 4/4. If you only listen to the piano part, then you might think it's odd, but when written in 4/4 the notes are just dotted quarter notes and half notes. The drum part is more revealing of the 4/4 time signature.
This doesn't really follow, to me. If you count out the piano part, you get the groups of 3 pretty quickly, then the group of 4 that sits in the middle is immediately apparent.
Counting the drums, to my ear, gives (5+4+4+3)/4, not 4/4. But admittedly, those could be counted differently.
I definitely disagree completely that this song is in 4/4, though the exact groupings can be tough to determine.

I assure you, it's in 4/4. I've transcribed and arranged this song myself. Also, that screenshot is from the official Amnesiac sheet music book.
