Counting Without Numbers

You can count me in
You said it right in front of your jealous siamese twin
Who’s going to take it on the chin

Praying on your knees
Doesn’t call for such profanities
And such blasphemous deeds

You’re asking me to settle down
Then you run away right out of the town
And you telephone to say you’re lost
And could you count me in, while I’m counting the cost

I don’t understand this conversation
Stretching my imagination
Asking all the impossibles
You’ve got me now cos I’ll be counting without numbers
Counting without numbers
Counting without numbers

It’s a summers day
And you’re wrapped in a coat that keeps that cold away
Asking me why

You’re asking me to understand
By analyzing all the lines on your hand
And you’re asking me to count my loss
Oh well I’ll count you in while I’m counting the cost

I don’t understand this conversation
Stretching my imagination
Asking all the impossibles
You’ve got me now cos I’ll be counting without numbers
Counting without numbers
Counting without numbers
