7-8-9

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Time, time, got nothing but time Nothing but time and a fucked up spine Nothing but time and a word that don't rhyme And a face that don't blend and a girl that ain't mine Night, night, got nothing but night Nothing but night and an old desk light Nothing but night and the thought "I just might" And a head that's screwed just a little too tight Smoke, smoke, got nothing but smoke Nothing but smoke and a knock-knock joke Nothing but smoke and an officer's coat And a letter in the fireplace forgettin' what you wrote Cash, cash, nothing but cash Nothing but cash and cigarette ash Nothing but cash and a girl that walk past If she's gonna help me fix the itch I can't scratch Books, books, got nothing but books Nothing but pawns and queens and crooks Nothing but books and the quotes From writers who died and snuck me a look Walls, walls, nothing but walls Nothing but walls and skin that crawls Nothing but walls and face, crooks, falls No weather, no doors, no reason at all Time, time, got nothing but time Nothing but time and 7-8-9 Nothing but time and 'No Vacancy' signs Old friends that don't call, new friends who don't mind [Bridge 1] Got time, I got nothing but time Got night, I got nothing but night Got smoke, I got nothing but smoke Got cash, I got nothing but cash Got books, I got nothing but books Got walls, I got nothing but walls Got time, I got nothing but time Got time, I got nothing but time [Pre-Chorus x4] These dreams of mine These dreams you can't have [Bridge 2] Time, time, nothing but time Nothing but time and a makeshift spine Time, time, nothing but time Nothing but time and a word that don't rhyme Time, time, nothing but time Nothing but time and 7-8-9 Time, time, nothing but time Nothing but time, oh yeah [Pre-Chorus x8] (During Chorus) These dreams of mine These dreams you can't have [Chorus x4] Let's carve our name in oceans Let's write words in the sky Let's play with your emotions Let's see through fourth of July
