xX EIGHT EIGHT Xx

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
