about

Special Thanks to Johnny J. Blair aka JJB (production, bass guitar, background vocals)

...I cannot say that I ever knew what this song "is about"... ..superficiality?.. ...discovery?... ...choosing one's focus?..or not?...
...the daylight finds my hands were bound to feet of clay?...

lyrics

Numbers For Days
words and music by peter chauncey


numbers for days
and all we talk about

we'll talk through the days
numbers don't count at all

all this time
all the money

compromised
compromised

a day for a day
all paths between for all to see

bitter, better days
no time to waste

the daylight finds my hands were bound to feet of clay
the daylight finds my hands were bound to feet of clay

numbers for the days
and all we talk about

all this time
all the money

bitter, better days
no time to waste

the daylight finds my hands were bound to feet of clay
the daylight finds my hands were bound to feet of clay (repeat)
