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!
