When John, he saw the numbers he lied   Made up the whole thing, he failed when he tried   To cash in on his cautious new fame   Always the numbers but never the name      When we hit the numbers we broke   Broken and changed them, changed as we spoke   We knew that we would always be down   Hitting the numbers spun way 'round      And somebody beside you   Slipped your head inside the crown   The princes of the paupers   And all the old showstoppers   Till this moment's still unknown      Siren's songs have tried, too   Yet, she takes you as her own   The princes of the paupers   And all the old showstoppers   Till this moment's still unknown      And when he got the numbers he thought   Thought of his friends who slowed to a halt   Who had questioned to no avail   Some knew the answers, some wouldn't tell      When Gabriel saw the numbers he fell   Fell through the clouds into the great well   But woke up before he hit the ground   No one had noticed still he looked around      And somebody beside you   Slipped your head inside the crown   The princes of the paupers   All the old showstoppers   Till this moment's still unknown      Siren's songs have tried, too   Yet, she takes you as her own   The princes of the paupers   And all the old showstoppers   Till this moment's still unknown      With her hand to guide you   You are nothing if not home   The princes of the paupers   And all the old showstoppers   Till this moment's still unknown
