What a Number

Inara George

What a number
Like the rest of them
How can you bear?
What everyone is bearing.

I want for you to want
To vaporize them
Start with nothing
Do you recognize?

I'm lying in lake alive
Living out someone else's life.
I could be wrong, I could be right
For the rest of time.

In the basement
Like in the old days
Under the covers
Under the covering
Like a governor
In the old days
You keep me handled
Never letting on

I want to a big surprise
I want a remedy

You're outnumbered
Like the rest of them
How can you bear
What everyone is bearing
I want for you to want
To vaporize them
Start with nothing
Do you recognize?

I want a big surprise
I want a remedy
