Lyrics - Fainting By Numbers by Skyclad

Number
One - the only number
I can really trust,
Dual faceted - these people that insidetalk 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 nin 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.
