The Dresden Dolls

I'm counting back the number of the stripes
It took for me to get back on the wagon of the weekend
I'm getting out of time
Another proof that I got home with my imagination
If they find the body in the basement
In the very house that she was raised in
I'm counting down
The number of the times
So when we get the sign from god
I'll be the first to call
Well I'm taking back the number of the beast
'Cause six is not a pretty number
Eight or three are definitely better
Eight is for the address on the letter
To my alcoholic friends
I'm trying hard not to be ashamed
