9 8 7

9, 8, 7, I'm feeling blue
7, 6, 5, I'm feeling you
4, 32, I wonder
If the feeling’s true?

9, 8, 7, what shall I do?
I'm scared and confused
There’s numbers in the music
Can you feel it too?

I wonder if you feel
The things I'm going through
I wonder if you feel
For those things too?

I wonder if you wonder
What number we’re counting to
Whatever number makes
The whole thing true

9, 8, 7, how are you doing?
What is your name, and is it groovy?
Is it Mortimer, is it Susan?
Is that the correct conclusion?

9, 10, 11, into the stars
Up on the stairway, thru the hall
And you’re wondering who you are
'Cause it’s been so long

I wonder if you’re wondering
How it got this far
I suppose that you’ve been
Wondering what went wrong

15, 14, 13, 12
It’s a counting song
Count down thru the numbers
Then it’s done

2 and 1, what have you done?
3 and 4, please do it more
5 and 10, around the bend
Over and over and under and over
And home again

I wonder if that’s somewhere
That you’ve ever been
If it’s somewhere that you’d
Ever go again?

I know that most homes are broken
So you don’t come back
But your home was never like that

9, 8, 7, I'm feeling blue
7, 6, 5, that’s still true
4, 32, I'm nervous
And I don’t know what to do

Huh

9, 8, nothing, where will you go?
When will you Leave?
And how will you Know?
Think of a new number
And then count up to it real slow

Yes, I feel the things that
You’ve been going through
And I know that each thing
You feel is so true

A hundred, I'm still wondering
What number we’re counting to
Whatever number makes
The whole thing blue

1, 1, 2
1, 1, 3
1, 1, 1
1, 1, meef
Meef?
