| X’ing out the numbers puts me in a slumber
|
| Can’t call for help and nobody’s at home.
|
| Had a premonition, icy cold suspicion
|
| Fueled by superstition and slick tricks bright lights.
|
| It takes one million strips of paper fastened by one staple.
|
| To take the upper hand they say you’ve got to have a plan.
|
| Simple concentration, choked with hesitation,
|
| Simple conversation, no I don’t understand.
|
| No, I don’t understand how you got the upper hand on me.
|
| I don’t understand how you got the upper hand on me.
|
| X’ing out the number put me in a slumber
|
| So hard to call for help when nobody’s at home.
|
| Had a premonition, icy cold suspicion
|
| Fueled by superstition, stuck in repetition.
|
| You’re calling me a liar, there’s more smoke than fire.
|
| More smoke than fire if you’re calling me a liar.
|
| On a million strips of paper, fastened by one staple.
|
| In one word, shut it down, shut it down.
|
| No, I don’t understand how you got the upper hand on me.
|
| I don’t understand how you got the upper hand on me.
|
| No, I don’t understand how you got the upper hand on me. |
