Lyrics

COUNT ME IN
music and lyrics by chris kowanko

there's a reason for rain
there's a reason for criminally insane
there's a reason for single people in the smoky bars
usherettes and moviestars
you know who you are
COUNT ME IN

there's music in fire
there's music in a gothic spire
there's music in the windblown paper on the sidewalk
the snoring and the small talk
whisper in the rock
COUNT ME IN

and when the babies cry
everybody wonders why
trying not to lie you are not alone

there's a reason for the sun
there's a reason for coming undone
there's a reason for the gospel
to win you with the soft sell
venus on the half shell
silently it fell
COUNT ME IN

your soul is a lost remnant
of emerald on this planet
"kill tha' pig in yer head, boy"
think about what you lose
if no one ever knows...
all god's children go down
get down kiss the ground

there's a reason for your arms
there's a reason why your knees jerk
there's reason for tingles
bodies in the wriggly pairs
polka dots and perfect squares
just tell the dancing bears
COUNT ME IN
