Counting Down
Bound by one word
lost one way or another
one day, I keep saying that
one plus one equals two
there are two things I cant remember
knowing it really does take two to tango
someone says something about a coin having two sides
I think about that two timer Nash
three days ago I was different
apparently I'm already three parts dead
threes company, triangles and shit
they say three times the charm
four ways to die, which will I choose?
the four evils of the tongue I have heard them all
wanting more than four makes me glutenous
the four fates are waiting for destiny to tell me first
I got a five finger discount on life
the devil gave me a high five
ten dollar shirts on five dollar bodies
I'm five times happier then I was yesterday
six pence no dimes
no time to waste, Ive already burned through six years
I have no shoes yet there are six spiders
six feet under! now that is good news
lost one way or another
one day, I keep saying that
one plus one equals two
there are two things I cant remember
knowing it really does take two to tango
someone says something about a coin having two sides
I think about that two timer Nash
three days ago I was different
apparently I'm already three parts dead
threes company, triangles and shit
they say three times the charm
four ways to die, which will I choose?
the four evils of the tongue I have heard them all
wanting more than four makes me glutenous
the four fates are waiting for destiny to tell me first
I got a five finger discount on life
the devil gave me a high five
ten dollar shirts on five dollar bodies
I'm five times happier then I was yesterday
six pence no dimes
no time to waste, Ive already burned through six years
I have no shoes yet there are six spiders
six feet under! now that is good news

*Smiles* Just for the record, the tango is vastly over-rated--but this write isn't. Much enjoyed the read Nikkiemoe.
