"The Numbers" lyrics

"The Numbers"

You'll be driving your car wondering about the numbers
Where is this place they tell about
Is it up in the sky beyond the blood and the thunder
Sippin on white wine above the clouds

And the seers say
That the numbers say
We're doing so well and the papers say
That the seers say
Don't worry yourselves

I was getting along fine on the back of the numbers
I combed my hair to hold the crown
But I felt the itch of a heathenous hunger
They said kid, it's ones and zeroes all the way down

And the seers say
That the numbers say
We're doing so well and the papers say
That the seers say
Don't worry yourselves

It's a gift to be alive
And the calculator never lies

And the seers say
That the numbers say
We're doing so well and the papers say
That the seers say
Don't worry yourselves

And the seers say
That the numbers say
We're doing so well and the papers say
That the seers say
Don't worry yourselves

What a thrill to be alive
And the calculator never lies
