Peter Buck - 9-9 lyrics

[Intro] Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord to hesitate [Verse] Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Got a stripe Down his back All nine yards Down her back [Chorus] Give me a couple Don't give me a couple of pointers Turn to lies and conversation fear [Verse] Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Got a stripe Down his back All nine yards Down her back [Chorus] Give me a couple Don't give me a couple of pointers Turn to lies and conversation... What is in my mind? What is in my mind? What is in my mind? [unintelligible] [Verse] Got to punch Right on target Twist his tongue He's got a stripe Down her back All nine yards Down his back [Chorus] Give me a couple Don't give me a couple of pointers Turn to lies and conversation fear [Outro] Conversation fear Conversation fear Conversation fear
