Counting Steps

[Verse 1]
Take a seed from within
And we'll bury it at night
Make a mark beneath my neck
While the moon is taking flight
Hang around the butcher's store
And eat a pint of grease
Put a toenail in my pocket
And don't forget to sneeze

[Chorus]
I've been
One, two, three, four
Counting steps across your floor
Five, six, seven, eight
And more, and more, and more

[Verse 2]
I've been very careful
To [?] too long
I cross my fingers for good luck
And then I run away at dawn
I made a man from a wooden cross
His head, it wouldn't fit
I found a golden watch chain
And it tore my heart to bits

[Chorus]
I've been
One, two, three, four
Counting steps across your floor
Five, six, seven, eight
And more, and more, and more

[Verse 3]
Laying down by the roadside
And my feet begin to smell
I put my finger in my ear
Then I laugh myself to Hell
When everything's made of earth
And things just turn to dirt
I just can't seem to fit my hands
Into her piece of work

[Chorus]
I've been
One, two, three, four
Counting steps across your floor
Five, six, seven, eight
And more, and more, and more

[Bridge]
That night, that night
Listen to me, you good people
I know I've done some bad things
I know I've done some bad things
That night she came to me
A pair of scissors in her delicate white hands
Cut them [?]
Slipped out like they're sand
She walked right back inside
[?] were set up
The candles [?] that looked just like me
She licked that candle off, [?]
One by one they went
She was trying to put the evil eye on me, is what she was trying to do
She was trying to put the evil eye on me, is what she was trying to do
She was trying to put the evil eye on me, is what she was trying to do
She was trying to put the evil eye on me, is what she was trying to do
She was trying to put the evil eye on me, is what she was trying to do
And [?] she laughed, she laughed, she laughed
[?]

[Verse 4]
Take a seed from within
And we'll bury it at night
Make a mark beneath my neck
While the moon is taking flight
Hang around the butcher's store
And eat a pint of grease
Put a toenail in my pocket
And don't forget to sneeze

[Outro]
I've been
One, two, three, four
Counting steps across your floor
Five, six, seven, eight
And more, and more, and more
One, two, three, four
Counting steps across your floor
Five, six, seven, eight
And more, and more, and more
One, two, three, four
Counting steps across your floor
Five, six, seven, eight
