Slow Numbers Lyrics - Morphine

Lazy boys and shy Diane's 

One at a time, single file 

They counted the low numbers 

As they walked by 

I count a high number, a low number 

Among the slow numbers 

The number four means nothin' to me 

But the number four means death to Chinese 

Number seven is lucky in Japan 

Here we don't give a damn

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor 

On the elevator, no thirteenth floor 

Thirteenth goin' up, goin' up, goin' up 

Relaxin' as I wait in line 

Some of the numbers 

Lose their smiles 

Specially the numbers one through nine 

Because they're only seatin' parties 

Of ten or higher 

For the dancin' the question mark sticker 

And the mermaid kickers 

Photos 

The number four means nothin' to me 

But the number four means death to Chinese 

Number seven is lucky in Japan 

Here we don't give a damn 

But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor 

On the elevator, no thirteenth floor 

Goin' up, goin' up, goin' up
