Lyrics
I'm alone in no man's land
staring at my calloused hands
counting up all the things I've done
just for fun
no need for a countdown when
nothing really lies at the end
I'm counting up
1-2-3-4-5 oh yeah I'm comin' alive
6-7-8-9-10 hell yeah let's do it again
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 that's fine
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 great
home staring at the phone
waiting for my people to throw me a bone
counting up all the things I've fixed
just for kicks
no need for the mailman when
you've been all the places that I've been
I'm counting up
1-2-3-4-5 oh yeah I'm comin' alive
6-7-8-9-10 hell yeah let's do it again
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 that's fine
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 it's heaven
1-2-3-4-5 oh yeah I'm comin' alive
6-7-8-9-10 hell yeah let's do it again
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 that's fine
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 great
funny where your mind can go
when the past overtakes the present so
just counting up all my stupid gaffes
good for laughs
no need for the firemen
cuz the fire's been out since who knows when
I'm counting up
all those crazy things I've done what fun
all those far-out places that I've been let's go again
2-4-6-8-10 tell me when
all those sad mistakes I've made well not today
all those dreamy things in sight let's do it right
all those dreamy things in sight let's do it right
all those dreamy things in sight let's do it right
let's do it right
let's do it
