There's always numbers In my head A counting hunger That must be fed I got some pills By my bed Supposed to eat 'em But I count them instead Now am I crazy? Am I mad? I've run out of fingers They're all I had I'm always counting I'm always counting Only trouble is I'm counting on me I wake up aching I count the pains The storm ain't breaking I can't count the rain I count spectators But the crowd just grows I'm a speculator Of the highs and lows And I've been playing With a loaded deck But the cards are claiming I'm a nervous wreck I'm always counting I'm always counting Only trouble is I'm counting on me
