Mike Doughty - Madeline and Nine Lyrics

All my life I've been slow and senseless
Not struck dumb, I'm just dumb that's all
But I can give you the constellations
Lay down here and we'll count them all

Madeline, Madeline
Madeline and nine, and nine, and nine
And nine, and nine, and nine, and nine

Call me back when the war is over
Call me back when your boyfriend's gone
I'm aware of your isolations
Don't believe, I am the only one

Slave to the inside light, my world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

Madeline, Madeline
Madeline and nine, and nine, and nine
And nine, and nine, and nine, and nine

Give my eyes just for your intentions
Risk my back to impress you now
I'm so joyful that I have found you
All's I need's you to see me now

Slain by the words I lack my world is bursting sappy music
And with the face so sad I long to make you mine

Slave to the inside light, my world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

Madeline, Madeline
Madeline and nine, and nine, and nine
And nine, and nine, and nine, and nine

Madeline and nine, and nine
Madeline and nine, and nine
Madeline and nine, and nine, and nine
And nine, and nine, and nine, and nine
