Nine Lives

You don't have to cut all your credit cards

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

You don't have to phone up the police to be

And please don't send all the nurses away

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

And I hope that when the pain comes you really kind of feel

You talk in your sleep and your sleep is long

And I try not to listen

Because words I don't want to know

I'll just try to witness the waves from the window

And you and your nine lives

And I

Just want to witness the waves from the window

And you and your nine lives

Nine lives

And I throw a brick through your window pane

If only to see you just stand up again

And shout at the air while you wave your arms

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

The savage of speech

But you're shouting out

If you've come back for more

Then it's time to get out

'Cause surely your life is a life at all

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

I'm just waiting for the wave from the window

For you and your nine lives

And I

Just want to witness this wave from the window

For you and your nine lives

Nine lives

I cannot believe the scene before my eyes

When faced with such invention

A mistakable intention

When one life falls, another must arise

I

I'm just waiting for this wave from the window

For you and your nine lives

And I

I just want to witness this wave from the window

For you and your nine lives

(x3)

Nine lives

Nine lives

I'm just waiting for waves from your window

I'm just waiting for waves from your window

I'm just waiting for waves from your 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

I'm

You and your nine lives

You and your nine lives

For you and your nine lives
