"Fainting By Numbers" lyrics - SKYCLAD
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 8-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
Count me out!
Said you can count me out
Why don't you count me out?
Go find another easy number
First catch me in your internet
Unload me down your modem,
Then brand me with a bar-code
'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 666
Count me out!
Why don't you count me out?
Said you can count me out
Go find another easy number
