about

The title refers to the fact that every conceivable time signature is represented. 2/4, ¾, 4/4, 5/4, (4 + 5)/4, 6/4, 7/4
Or, our anonymous narrator could be playing his odds--cards close to his chest, so to speak.

lyrics

<--Marty Plays a Numbers Game-->

Do you find the words just come on out all wrong,
when you least expect them to?
Do you mind when people you love disappoint you,
Whether they stay next to you?
Whether they stand next to you.
Whether they stand next to you.
Whether they stay next to you.

[organ solo]

So in time, your expectations pass you by.
Didn’t you expect them to?
Out of mind, out of sight and out of view.
Put it all behind you.
Put it all behind you.
Whether they stay next to you.
Whether they stand next to you.
Whether they stay next to you.
Didn’t you expect them to?

Do you mind when people you love disappoint you,
when you least expect them to;
whether they stay next to you?
when you least expect them to;
whether they stay next to you?

Whether they stand next to you.
Didn’t you expect them to?
Whether they stand next to you.
Didn’t you expect them to?
Whether they stand next to you.
Didn’t you expect them to?
Whether they stand next to you.
Didn’t you expect them to?
whether they stand next to you?
