Lyrics for Figure 8
Drained me dry down to the last drop Pearls before swine, all flowers die Tapped the last good vein Don't know how to shut it off Yeah, once you get me going I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop Once you get me going I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to All for your sake Became the very thing that I hate I lost my way Spinning in an endless figure eight I won't miss the feeling My flimsy spine, unsuspicious mind I was only being kind But you mistook me for weak And once I get going, hmmm I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop Going I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to All for your sake Became the very thing that I hate I lost my way Spinning in an endless figure eight Candlelight, candlelight Burning 'til broad daylight Candlelight, candlelight Burning at both ends tonight How could I? How could I? If I'm made of thin ice How could I? How could I? You'd be wise if you thought twice All for your sake Became the very thing that I hate I lost my way Spinning in an endless figure What remains? And now I think I'm losing my shape Not a trace No end and no beginning, figure eight
