New Numbers Lyrics - John Hiatt

Stand before it to the nines 

Hurry up and get in line 

They've got your ashes scattered 

Before you even burn 

Blasting off for baby town 

Wearing cars like angel gowns 

Even though I'm wearin' tatters 

I just can't wait my turn 

CHORUS: 

'Cause I've got 

New numbers don't understand 

New numbers I'm gettin' out of hand 

New numbers countin' on me for 

New numbers

Oh your body still behaves 

Standard issue mindless slave 

Somebody gave you your papers 

You just stuck around 

Now I wanna make a scene 

Interrupt your magazine 

You're all so tucked in and tapered 

I'd only let you down 

CHORUS 

Photos 

I took the last train home and I 

I can't remember the faces 

I'm adding up possibilities 

How's the view at twenty paces 

CHORUS 

New numbers 

New numbers
