Take a step back from the vacant chair
Looking in the mirror while she's combing her hair
Wipes his dust from a cup while she's cleaning up
Wonders very slightly what she's doing there
A simple reflection can be too revealing
Years are for counting, years are for stealing
She's a mathematician, calculator
Counting daily, counting forever
Cold clean glass and a razor blade
Fly on the table and a passing car
Closes the curtain to keep in the shade
Closes her head and now she's counting down
Dust is collecting but she doesn't notice
Counting for ever, she's a calculator
No one can see her, she's invisible now
No one can see her and the dust is collecting
Forty
Thirty
Twelve
Eleven
Ten
Nine
Eight
Seven
Six
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Simple reflection can be too revealing
Years are for counting, years are for stealing
Cold clean glass and a razor blade
Dust on the mirror, dust on the razor
Dunking, where the curtains are draw
Dust is collecting, forever and ever
She's invisible now, attract no attention
Counting today, counting forever
She's invisible now
