Counting Game

A sorry excuse for escape

The one’s here

The two’s here

Waking up with all of the lights on

There’s two there

There’s three here

In harder times, only time could surprise me

The one’s here, the two’s here

To naked eyes, it looks like we’re aligning

Like two’s here

Ooh, even your mind, even your friends believe you

The one’s here, the two’s here

Even the score, slot out a time to break through

And I hear

  

Shots ring out through our towns

Sermons down from the mounts

Two’s here

Can’t hold myself to account

But can’t you?

And when I’m fine, you’ll be first to know it

But it won’t cure our doubts

The calls are coming from inside the house

The alchemy of the soul

(One) You can read a book about it

Adhere to it and you don’t dare

(Two) breathe a word about it

Oh, it’s so easy to follow your heart

It’s so easy, what’s hard is not doing it

and doing it well

(Count me in)

Am I doomed to see no flash, feel no thunder?

The one’s here, the two’s here

To turn on dimes, flock to fires, play the numbers?

One’s here

And he’s a thief in the night

Gaining trust, taking time

One’s here

Always looking for something I find

in you

When there’s two here

 

You’ve got space for me

I think you care

What trickles down through the cracks that were left in me

The one’s here, the two’s here

And baby it’s woo (haa) balmy times

The one is here

Leave it all to me, dear

I’m holding it down

The calls are coming from inside the house
