there is one for the sorrow
and two for the joy
and three for the girls
and four for the boys
there's five for the silver
and six for the gold
and seven for the secrets
that are never to be told
there's eight in the river
and nine in my head
and ten of the worst
guys sleeping in my bed

there's a pattern
there's a pattern
there's a pattern there to follow
a pattern, there's a pattern
there's a pattern there to follow

there's one fort the money
and two for the sin
and three for the time
when authority kicks in
there's four for the reason
and five for the tricks
but nothing's gonna save you
from the six six six
there's seven for the days
and seven for the nights
and seven for the heavens
and the tunnel and the lights

there's a pattern
there's a pattern
there's a pattern there to follow
a pattern, there's a pattern
there's a pattern there to follow
