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.
|
|
[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.
