1 x 1 x 1

There’s this dream, repeats itself, it's the same thing every night
Over and over I can’t get home no matter how hard I try
When I’m lost or lay awake I keep it simple here’s the steps I take
I count the lovers in the dream I’m on - one by one by one

I never gamble but when I do it’s the same thing every time
I win a few, I lose a few plus one, no matter how hard I try
The lights are flashin’ and the music’s playin’
I should be goin’ but you know I’m stayin’
I had some dollars but now they’re gone - one by one by one

The way you held me by the apple tree, I just can’t clear my mind
And then you touched me in the kitchen there, while your little eggs were fryin’
Maybe it won’t always be that way, but baby think back to the other day
Kisses after kisses can be lots of fun - one by one by one

Take it around again, one more time, I still can’t get to sleep
So I go down to the river and I jump in where it’s deep
The water’s nice and the night is black, insomnia floating on his back
I count the times that I was sure I was done - one by one by one
