Ten Seconds To Midnight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ten
Apes turn into men
and grapes turn into wine
How we made it to nine
I'll never know
Eight
Man looks for a mate
but fate plays cruel tricks
And seven turns to six
still he's alone
Along comes number five
Eureka I'm alive
I think therefore I am
a lucky man
Three
From this balcony
the two of us can see
The place where we first met
one wet sunday
