5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14 15, I don’t know how many.
I remember this street. Rewind, repeat.
We’ve been here, but here we go again.
Oh man, if I only had a dime.
This is the I – don’t – know – how – manieth time.
Looks like we’re back. How ’m I supposed to keep track?
I try, but I can’t count that high.
If I only had a dime.
This is the I – don’t – know – how – manieth time.
If you left me a tip for every time around
I guess I’d be rich and retired by now.
It’s like déjà vu on a Möbius strip
With only a headache and bruise to show for it.
I never got a cent for all the time I spent.
Not this time nor the time before.
If I only had a dime.
This is the I – don’t – know – how – manieth time.
If you left me a tip for every time around
I guess I’d be rich and retired by now.
It’s like déjà vu on a Möbius strip
With only a headache and bruise to show for it.
I never got a cent for all the time I spent.
Not this time nor the time before.
If I only had a dime.
This is the I – don’t – know – how … I – don’t – know – how …
I – don’t – know – how – manieth time.
