Play to nine Pass me by Play to nine Pass me by Play to nine Pass me by Play to nine Pass me by Take your book and one leaf Cos the world is so frightening If I'm lost or feel weak Then I'll live off your wisdom When I die Maybe when the earth sleeps Then I'll light up a mountain Pull the cloud over me Let me drink from your fountain Yes I try to always face it But I run away Maybe not today Yet I know the secret ballot But it's rigged to change I'm stuck in my way Yesterday I almost vanished But I'm here to stay Maybe not today I finding time to fade out Just a slice to break away Got through life with nine to take out Went back in double or break Play to nine Pass me by Play to nine Pass me by There's a better way through Wasn't looking I found it Let it run til empty Nothing's meant be lasting It'll die Every minute I can Stop and smelling the roses Any second we'll land Better know where your home is Yes I try to always face it But I run away Maybe not today Yet I know the secret ballot But it's rigged to change I'm stuck in my way Yesterday I almost vanished But I'm here to stay Maybe not today
