No. 9

Her words were dangerous, and I knew it from the start

She’d weave a web of lies, and turn her trouble into art

I’ve fallen for that hook, I’ve fallen for it every time

She’d pull that curtain wide, and turn her trouble into rhyme

The first time was a mystery

Number two, it was a crime

Third time, crossed her fingers

Four, I have no alibi

Fifth time was a test

Six and seven blew my mind

Number eight, call it weakness

Will I fall for number nine?

Number nine, number nine

Number nine, number nine

Number nine

The sophistry you tried to sell

Is as black as coal, you turned this heaven into hell

You flipped the plot, out on its ear

As dark as night and cold as ice the end is always near

One’s a mystery

Number two, it was a crime

Third time, crossed her fingers

Four, I have no alibi

Fifth time was a test

Six and seven blew my mind

Number eight, call it weakness

Will I fall for number nine?

Number nine, number nine

Number nine, number nine

You are my weakness, it’s true

You play the victim, fall all over you

You are my weakness, it’s true

You play the victim, fall all over, fall all over you
