lyrics

One by one, they’re running
And we’re laughing hysterically
From first to last, they’re all placing
And we’re hardly even noticing it
They know them and them know they this way

Four five six, seven eight nine
The time of the night you would call me up
Almost every night
Ten twelve eighteen, twenty-one
Don’t think that I’ve forgotten
The number of your house
On the street where you used to live

Twenty-five
The year of my life
You call me up
For the very last time
To invite me to a house warming party – oh
You’re moving out?
Oh
You’re moving in with

Mr. Ninety-Nine
Mr. Ninety-Nine
How could I compete?
He’s got digits on me

One by one
I’m running, I’m coughing
Up these old lungs
From first to last
I don’t care anymore
I just want a place – any place
One by one
We’re all making names for ourselves
Letters in stone
On top of graves

And I’m counting
Its distracting
Me
From
Uncountable things
From
Immeasurable things
Unscientific things

I’m counting
It’s distracting
Me

You used to know these things
No
You used to share with me these things
