Nine Wires
Were required
To lay
Her down

Nine lives
That she thought
She had
count 'em down

Nine Wires
Were required
To lay
Her down

One
She left
Two
She made
No sound

And you
Thought
There'd be a
Story

And you
Thought
There'd be a
Story

Well
I'm too
Busy
To talk

You thought
There'd be a
Story

Another
Distracting
Story

Well

I'm
Too busy

To
Talk
Right
Now

(instrumental)

The man
Of history
Stares
Into
The
Abyss

And
Looks
Coldly
And
Strong

No
Testing
No
Doubt
Insanity

No
Right
And
Wrong

Light's
Distraction
Memory
Is
Well constructed

As you've
Read
And Heard

So
I didn't
Let her
Say a word

Nine Wires
Were required
To lay
Her down

The first
Came loose

The second
Was
Retaining

The third
Was
The one
That

I
Enjoyed
The
Most

When
The phone
Rang

It
Sounded
Like

The
Interposing
Bridge

Of
The
Minuet
I might
Have
Written

When
I was
So
Sorely

Interrupted
When
I was
In
The
Cordon

So
Badly
Hidden

And
The
Man
of
History

The
Man
of
History

Is
Never
Known

In
The
Moment

The
Man
of
History

The
Man
of
History

Is
Never
Known

Never
Known

Never
Known

Never
Known

(Instrumental)

Look

Some
People
Spend
Their time

Unwrinkled
And badly
seeding

Others
Like
To

Follow
Icons

From
Which
They're
Needing

Something
They
Can't
Have

I'd
Rather
Have
You
Down

And
Now
That
I
Have
Got
You
Down

Listen

Don't
Make
A
Sound

Nine Wires
Were required
To lay
Her down

Don't
Make
A
Sound

Nine Wires
Were required
To lay
Her down

Don't
Make
A
Sound

Nine Wires
Were required
To lay
Her down

Don't
Make
A
Sound
