Living By Numbers next song/previous song There’s a job There’s a wife There’s the outline of your life There’s a house There’s a car Just fill in what you are Living by numbers There’s a red And a black And the green stuff that you lack There’s a pink And a blue And your line to continue And when they lay you down to die Just join the dots and say goodbye No style No pride Without that handy guide Not a hope Not a clue With no numbers there for you Paint the truth and face the facts Imagination - paint it black Living by numbers Living by numbers Step back Take a look When you’ve done it by the book Just sign Your name And make the picture fit the frame Living by numbers ©2005 Dave Ellis & Boo Howard song index
