Mystery Slang - They All Ran Like Numbers lyrics

Five jumped off a bridge And two ran down the grove Three slugged down the Nitetrain And one just sad on the road Hey Five laid on gravestones And held their breath And two changed the lights On Holland Park Avenue Forgot about the rest Three slugged down the Thunderbird One sat on the roadside and stroked a cat Seven broke into a fight Said someone was cheating And that was the end of that Hey they all ran like numbers Yeah Four spend the money on dope And one just laughed Two drove a car all night long Until they run out of gas Right out of gas He was a chancer I'll show you Let me tell you now Three slugged down the Ballintines And two they walked home Now seven split up four got busted And one was left on his own The night dug into your eyes Like a diamond on your babys finger And when she smiled like that You think it's all worthwhile They all ran like numbers They all ran home Don't tell me man I ain't lucky Don't you tlle me I ain't a lucky guy
