Lyric Fainting By Numbers
Number One - the only number I can really trust,
Dual faceted - these people that insidetalk 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 nin 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.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus:
Count me out,
Why don t you count me out?
Said you can count me out,
Go find another easy number.
Dual faceted - these people that insidetalk 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 nin that once shone from my cloud,
Down the street at Number Ten they re talking long and loud.
