Rem - 9-9 lyrics

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Gotta stripe down his back All nine yards down her back Give me a couple, Don't give me a couple of pointers, Turn to lies and conversation fear Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Gotta stripe down his back All nine yards down her back Give me a couple, Don't give me a couple of pointers, Turn to lies and conversation fear What is in my mind? What is in my mind? Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Gotta stripe down his back All nine yards down her back Give me a couple, Don't give me a couple of pointers, Turn to lies and conversation fear Conversation fear, conversation fear, conversation fear
