Stand before it to the nines
Hurry up and get in line
They've got your ashes scattered
Before you even burn 

Blasting off for baby town 
Wearing cars like angel gowns
Even though I'm wearin' tatters
I just can't wait my turn 

'Cause I've got
New numbers don't understand
New numbers I'm gettin' out of hand
New numbers countin' on me for
New numbers 

Oh your body still behaves
Standard issue mindless slave
Somebody gave you your papers
You just stuck around 

Now I want to make a scene 
Interrupt your magazine
You're all so tucked in and tapered
I'd only let you down 

'Cause I've got
New numbers don't understand
New numbers I'm gettin' out of hand
New numbers countin' on me for
New numbers 

I took the last train home and I
I can't remember the faces
I'm adding up possibilities
How's the view at twenty paces 

'Cause I've got
New numbers don't understand
New numbers I'm gettin' out of hand
New numbers countin' on me for
New numbers
