Nine Lives

You don't have to cut all your credit cards

You don't have to lock all this stuff behind bars

You don't have to phone up the police today

Please don't send all the nurses away

I know that you dream and you think it's real

I hope when the pain comes, you really can't feel

Talk in your sleep and your sleep is long

And I try not to listen, 'cause the words sound all wrong

I'm just trying to wait for this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives

And I just want to witness this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives, nine lives

And I throw a brick through your window pane

If only to see you to stand up again

And shout at the air while you wave your arms

And prove to me you've never come to real harm.

They severed your speech but you're shouting out

If they come back for more then it's time to get out

'Cause surely a life is a life, after all?

But you don't know if this one beats no life at all.

I'm just waiting for this wave from your window

From you and your nine lives

And I just want to witness this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives, nine lives

I could not believe the scene before my eyes

When faced with such invention, unmistakeable intention

When one vice falls, another must arise

I'm just waiting for this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives

And I just want to witness this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives

I'm just waiting for this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives

And I just want to witness this wave from the window

From you and your nine lives, nine lives

I'm just waiting for waves from the window

I'm just waiting for waves from the window

I'm just waiting for waves from the window

I'm just waiting for waves from the window

I'm just waiting for waves

I'm just waiting for waves

Waiting for waves

Waiting for waves

Waiting for waves

You and your nine lives

You and your nine lives

From you and your nine lives
