Do You Know Why They Call Me The Count? Songtext
I've got a camera film to finish come on let's fake a photo shoot just like last time

Six years ago on another coast but nobody's gotta know

And I'll forgive you for reaching back into old bags of tricks if you'll forgive me too



I've got your picture I just looked at it. You haven't changed one bit.
Standing alone ankle-deep and aglow in Connecticut snow

Captain Cheesecake to the end, fork raised to defend the innocent



I've got the feeling you get when you're in a new place

And you stir an old memory with every new face

And I haven't slept though you're four hours late

I'm still sitting just this side of the security gate

Watching them come and go and come and go as they come and they go



Shot up into the night
Headed back home

Back where it's white after a storm



And now they're saying your flight has come in

I shake awake try to scrape the years from my skin

All I've been meaning to say it's all wearing thin it's all wearing thin

It's all wearing thin yeah but maybe something could come through

If I were to sing this to you

Yeah I could sing this to you

Yeah well I bet I never do



Still it's the thought that counts
