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]
