How much poison did they inhale?
Eight by eight, they got to the gate
Four by four, they turn it some more
How many black cats crossed their trail?
Seven by seven, they headed for heaven
One by one, they follow the sun
Two by two, to their lovers they flew
Five by five, can't stand and stay alive
How many of their brothers and sisters lingered in jail?
How many compared to yesterday?
Two by two, into the foggy dew
Two by two, they step in the dark
Four by four, they're losing the war
Two by two, to another rendezvous
How many paths did they try and fail?
Four by four, they danced on the shore
Three by three, they danced on the sea
Six by six, they were playing with tricks
Ten by ten, they drank again
Three by three, they're turning the key
Three by three, don't tread on me
Nine by nine, they drank the wine
Two by two, they stepped into the ark
How many more without any reward?
Five by five, they tried to survive
How many more can they afford?
How many tomorrow's have they given away?
