The one you had plus the one you left
Is bad arithmetic
Add the one you lost to the one you need
To the ghosts you won't ever please
You move on to live it down
Hard times are in every town
Factor in your behaviour
A bad equation with no saviour
Numbers catching up to you
Numbers laying out the proof
You can't hide when your number is coming due
A stranger through the door
Could be a friend with a generous pour
One bad dream, a few bad brakes
A mind that tends to exaggerate
Numbers catching up to you
Numbers laying out the proof
You can't hide when your number is coming due
Truth is being rounded up
As you prepare your latest stunt
Calculate your procedure
As one more bad idea
Numbers catching up to you
Numbers laying out the proof
You can't hide when your number
You can't hide when your number is coming due
