Mike Doughty - Madeline and Nine (Album Version) w/Lyrics

All my life I've been slow and senseless.
Not struck dumb, I'm just dumb that's all.
But I can give you the constellations;
Lay down here and we'll count them all

Madeline, Madeline and nine

Call me back when the war is over.
Call me back when your boyfriend's gone.
I'm aware of your oscillations;
Don't believe I'm the only one.

Slave to the inside light,
My world is burning on eternally.
For the fire I lack, this flame is feeling fine.

Madeline, Madeline and nine

Give my eyes just for your intentions.
Risk my back to impress you now.
I'm so joyful that I have found you,
All's I need's you to see me now.

Slain by the words I lack,
My world is bursting sappy music and
With a face so sad I long to make you mine.

Slave to the inside light,
My world is burning on eternally.
For the fire I lack, this flame is feeling fine.

Madeline, Madeline and nine

1) Thanks! 2) Thanks again! I know the song backward and forwards and STILL managed to bungle it up!

my refined uncle david from toronto turned my onto this guy about 5 years ago while i was out there visiting and i've been hooked ever since...he's just got a good vibe....almost like the anti bukowski of music....if that makes sense....
