Intro
Mm-hmm
Eight eight eight
Oh-oh
Chorus
Eight is the number rolling through my brain
Eight little shadows on the windowpane
I ate seven digits chewed an extra one
Eight is the answer till the day is done
Eight eight eight
Never gonna trade it never gonna change it
Verse 1
Woke up sideways to a clock that stuttered
Every hour melts into a figure eight
My cousin called and asked me what my lucky number was
I told him eight then hung up on his face
Lucky is a habit lucky is a joke
I keep a crooked eight pinned inside my coat
Chorus
Eight is the number rolling through my brain
Eight little shadows on the windowpane
I ate seven digits chewed an extra one
Eight is the answer till the day is done
Eight eight eight
Never gonna trade it never gonna change it
Verse 2
Mama said you count your blessings slow
I counted eight then asked her for some more
The landlord knocked he wanted rent at eight a.m.
I paid in ones and told him I was bored
Bored is a religion bored is a soup
I stir it with a spoon shaped like a hoop
Chorus
Eight is the number rolling through my brain
Eight little shadows on the windowpane
I ate seven digits chewed an extra one
Eight is the answer till the day is done
Eight eight eight
Never gonna trade it never gonna change it
Instrumental Break
Bridge
Round and round the figure never stops
Round and round it wobbles and it drops
Maybe I am cursed maybe I am blessed
Either way an eight sits heavy on my chest
Chorus
Eight is the number rolling through my brain
Eight little shadows on the windowpane
I ate seven digits chewed an extra one
Eight is the answer till the day is done
Eight eight eight
Never gonna trade it never gonna change it
