1 2 3 4 5 / can’t you tell that i’m alive? / my writing’s bad but here’s my letter / i’ll let you know i wanna make it better / 5 6 7 8 9 / it’s a crime it’s a crime / my talking’s bad / but listen hard / i feel alone when you put up your guard / 6 7 8 9 10 / can’t we just begin again? / my luck was bad / can we go back if i make up for all i lack? / 3 4 5 6 7 8 / it ain’t so hard to get it straight / my life was bad but it was living / now you’ve just gotta come and be forgiving / if i get to 10 i won’t count again / a long time listening to the phone call ring / i’m almost at 9 / i’m almost out of time / and there’s a lot of places that i’ve never been / there’s a lot of places that i’ve never been

make up

lights are falling but the feeling’s strong / i woke up with my make up on / i’ve been stretching out across the lawn / i’ve been waiting for you much too long / the sky will open and a light will come / i can laugh because i don’t belong / but i will wake up and i’ll find you gone / a lot of time to kill but no more time to run / the future sparkles like a diamond ring / we’ve been so far but our shoes are clean / the sky will open and it won’t mean much / there ain’t nothing that i wouldn’t do to feel your touch / lights are falling but the feeling’s strong / i woke up with my make up on / i’ve been stretching out across the lawn / i’ve been waiting for you much too long / the sky will open and a light will come / i can laugh because i don’t belong / but i will wake up and i’ll find you gone / a lot of time to kill but no more time to run / i will wake up and i’ll find you gone / a lot of time to kill but no more time to run / i’ve got time but now i don’t have fun / a lot of time to kill but no more time to run / i will wake up and i’ll find you gone / a lot of time to kill but no more time to run

and tigers they roam

the street’s full of shooting / and tigers they roam / you could get electrocuted out there alone / i know that you’re angry but pick up a phone / i know you don’t wanna / but if you’d just come home / i’d do whatever it is that i’m supposed to do / though i could count on ten fingers the ways i couldn’t count on you / i don’t wanna be unfair but every time we fight i’m scared i’m pushing you out of my door / it turns me from the man i am to the man i’m not / don’t wanna push my luck any more / now we ain’t criminals / but this is a crime / don’t count on an ambulance to get there on time / i would do anything you ever asked me to though i could count on ten fingers the ways i couldn’t count on you / i don’t wanna be unfair but every time we fight i’m scared i’m pushing you out of my door / it turns me from the man i am to the man i’m not / don’t wanna push my luck any more / i don’t wanna be unfair / don’t want you out of my hair / i don’t care i ain’t a millionaire / ‘cos i’ll still share your taxi fare / even though we swear / i don’t want an intermittent love affair / if we dare to mend the tear / make me don’t be scared any more
