"No. 9" lyrics

Her words were dangerous, and I knew it from the start
She'd weave a web of lies, and turn her trouble into art
I've fallen for that hook, I've fallen for it every time
She'd pull that curtain wide, and turn her trouble into rhyme

The first time was a mystery
Number two, it was a crime
Third time, crossed her fingers
Four, I have no alibi
Fifth time was a test
Six and seven blew my mind
Number eight, call it weakness
Will I fall for number nine?

Number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine
Number nine

The sophistry you tried to sell
Is as black as coal, you turned this heaven into hell
You flipped the plot, out on its ear
As dark as night and cold as ice the end is always near

One's a mystery
Number two, it was a crime
Third time, crossed her fingers
Four, I have no alibi
Fifth time was a test
Six and seven blew my mind
Number eight, call it weakness
Will I fall for number nine?

Number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine

You are my weakness, it's true
You play the victim, fall all over you
You are my weakness, it's true
You play the victim, fall all over, fall all over you
