Lyrics Matt Pond PA

Matt Pond PA

Counting Song

Counting lines in the poplar

I got lost about the thousandth time

Begin again - don't let anything get your mind

Clinically distracted

Wondered how the light broke through

If it's more than numbers

Then on comes the thoughts of truth

The tiles in the floor

The amount of the teeth

I can count them with my tounge when i'm tired

Let's go to sleep one more time for desire

After enough days every idea disappears

I was lying on my back outside

Below the shade of poplar leaves

The moss, grass and brown needles of the evergreen

That was the last time i slipped

When i thought about the loss of green

One two three four five six seven eight

Don't try to stop me

I know what comes next

After nine i get to ten and then i'm off

Let's put it aside one last time for desire

After enough nights every thought will disappear

I got it

Now i'm off

(counting)
