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.i should say by the way that you're acting today
i can tell by the sigh in your eye
i can sure understand by the palm of your hand
that you know i'm so hot i could fry
because i've chased you, embraced you 'n' turned round
'n' faced you
crowned you the truth of my youth
but you give me the line in the words of our time
it's like living a stew that's what most lovers do
it's like escaping the sun, there's nowwhere you can run
Chorus: i believe, i believe love's a lover's honour
i believe, i believe love's a prima donna too
i shoulda guessed by the rest of the men that you've blessed
i was only an eye for an eye
but you wanted a part of my innocent heart
i was only your ship in the night
i shoulda knew, shoulda knew i was out just fro you
i believe in the power of the night
but like a fool i was had, now it's driving me mad
i was only a prize in your libertine eyes
i had it coming to me i was too late to see
Chorus: i believe, i believe love's a lover's honour
i believe, i believe love's a prima donna too
i could fight with the might of a thief in the night
i could kick, i could tear at your hair
i could break you in two like a man ought to do
but the woman i see has a right to be free
and the woman i need is a mischievous breed
don't wanna live in a stew that's what most lovers do
it's like escaping the sun, there's nowwhere you can run
Chorus: (fade)
