Lyrics of The Horse and Locomotive – Number Five

Far below in your mind of gold
You couldn’t bother with a thought for me
And I know, I’ve been here before
You got a lot of nerve comin to see
I’ll call your bluff when I’ve had enough
Why can’t you see what you’re so proud of?
And those other nights you thought you got right
You’re in the wrong, but you’ve lost your sight
And it’s now 2 in the afternoon and it’s
too late for me to think of you but it’s all right
When it’s later tonight,
You’ll be my number one, I’ll be your number five
Ain’t it a shame? Who’s to take the blame?
But I know I can’t look to you
In broken glass it’ll come to pass
You’ll be sure to see me through
Your devil’s tongue and your blackened lungs
I knew better but couldn’t stop and
Clandestinely, it’s you that I see
In the mirror lookin back at me
And it’s now 2 in the afternoon and it’s
too late for me to think of you but it’s all right
When it’s later tonight,
You’ll be my number one, I’ll be your number five
I really shouldn’t say so
Here at the undertow
Seems these rainy days
Always get the best of me
2x
And it’s now 2 in the afternoon and it’s
too late for me to think of you but it’s all right
When it’s later tonight,
You’ll be my number one
And it’s now 2 in the afternoon and it’s
too late for me to think of you but it’s all right
When it’s later tonight,
You’ll be my number one, I’ll be your number five
Oh I’ll be your number five
Ooooh number five
