Waiting - Number 9 Lyrics

I don't believe another song could ever change the world
I don't believe that little boys grow up to be little girls
I don't believe that wishing ever really made it so
I don't believe you love me, you don't tell me anymore
I don't believe that suicide could ever open up any doors

Can't count on my lucky star if I don't know where it's at
Can't count on my fingers, I've got more sense than that
Can't count all my money, it all goes to pay the rent
Can't count on philosophers if I don't know what they meant
There's a time for counting one by one
And time for counting what's been spent

Some people live their lives, like they're on number 9
But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time

I see a stately temple standing in a trance
I see the saints of God breaking into dance
I see a band of angels running up and down the stairs
I see a thousand sparrows floating in the air
I see a love-sick Savior, and I can see the scars that He wears
Ooh, I see a love-sick Savior, and I can see the scars that He wears

Some people live their lives, like they're on number 9
But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time
I don't wanna live my life in an endless nursery rhyme
For I'm gonna be around for a long, long, time
Some people live their lives like they're on number 9
But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time
