Call Me No.5

I dreamt I was falling

I never woke up

I dreamt of a warning

A yellow buttercup



I dreamt of an old flame

Smoking cigarettes she was

Dancing in a night club

With some other men



I was holding up a drugstore

My gun was soaking wet

From the barrel I was trapped in

That went tumbling over the edge



You can call me number 5

Please please my my

Call me number 5

Call me number 5

That's why I'm still alive



The barrel cracked up open

I was swimming for my breath

I knew I wouldn't make it

She watched me catch my death



So I switched on the TV

Saw me reading out the news

Another story of a plane crash

Another story of bad news



The TV cracked up open

My baby boy came out

I was looking at my new wife

I ain't writing home about



You can call me number 5

Please please my my

That's why I'am still alive



I boxed around a sliver ring

With blood stains on my face

I cut the dog with yellow teeth

And drove his car away



You can call me number 5

Please please my my

Call me number 5

Call me number 5

That's why I'm still alive
