Fainting By Numbers |
Number One — the only number I can really trust |
Dual faceted — these people that I talk to when I must |
In triplicate my body hangs — left drying in the sun |
Four horses at the starting gate — their riders waiting on my gun |
Misused just like the pentagram — distrusted as the Pentagon |
Six sided is this box I’ve made — you’ll dance on it when I am gone |
Seven times I’ve wondered whether Heaven’s truly waiting there |
I smoke another eight ball to convince myself I couldn’t care |
The bulb’s blown in the neon nine that once shone from my cloud |
Down the street at Number Ten they’re talking long and loud |
Life’s a game of two halves — I’m not on the team of winners |
Each time I set the table — seems that Judas comes to dinner |
Thirteen black cats cross my path — ignoring all the others |
There is no bride waiting for me — I’m not one of seven brothers |
Fate serves an ace (fifteen-love) — |
I’m set to take a bruising |
Cause at sixteen I graduated from the school of losing |
Count me out |
Why don’t you count me out? |
Said you can count me out |
Go find another easy number |
First catch me in your internet — unload me down your modem |
Then brand me with a barcode, cause the fax of life you know them |
Count me out! |
Oh what fun at twenty one — you stole the key to my front door |
You don’t need me — you won’t feed me (I'm not even sixty four) |
Fifty two — how it suits you to fool me with your magic tricks |
What’s this birthmark on my head? |
- |
Bet it’s the number six, six, six |
