call me no. 5

i dream't i was falling

i never woke up

i dream't of a warning

a yellow buttercup

i dream't of an old flame

smoking cigarettes she was

dancing in a night club

with some other men

i was holding up a drugstore

my gun was soaking wet

from the barrel i was trapped in

that went tumbling over the edge

you can call me. number 5

please please my my

call me number 5

call me number 5

that's why i'm still alive!

the barrel cracked up open

i was swimming for my breath

i knew i wouldn't make it

she watched me catch my death

so i switched on the tv

saw me reading out the news

another story of a plane crash

another story of bad news

the tv cracked up open

my baby boy came out

i was looking at my new wife

i ain't writing home about

you can call me. number 5

please please my my

that's why i'm still alive!

i boxed around a sliver ring

with blood stains on my face

i cut the dog with yellow teeth

and drove his car away

you can call me. number 5

please please my my

call me number 5

call me number 5

that's why i'm still alive!
