Morphine - Slow Numbers lyrics

Lazy boys and shy Dianes
One at a time, single file
They counted the low numbers
As they walked by i count a high number
A low number among the slow numbers

The number four means nothing to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven's lucky in Japan
Here, we don't give a damn

But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Thirteenth going up, going up, going up

Relaxing as I wait in line
Some of the numbers lose their signs
Specially the numbers one through nine
Because they're only seating parties
Of ten or higher for the dancing
The question mark stickers and
The mermaid kickers

The number four means nothing to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven's lucky in Japan
Here, we don't give a damn

But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Going up, going up, going up
