Mike Doughty - Madeline and Nine lyrics

All my life I've been slow and senseless Not struck dumb, I'm just dumb that's all But I can give you the constellations Lay down here and we'll count them all Madeline, Madeline and nine Call me back when the war is over Call me back when your boyfriend's gone Slave to the inside light My world is burning on eternally For the fire I lack This flame is feeling fine Give my eyes just for your intentions Risk my back to impress you now I'm so joyful that I have found you All I need is to see you now Slain by the words I lack My world is bursting sappy music and With the face so sad I long to make you mine
