888 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walkin' in figures of eight
I hope I'm not too late
Figure eight clouds
I'm workin' things out
Clouds lookin' strange
Papercut fingers dancing on the strings
If I could see you right now
I'd dance just for you when the nightlight goes out
[Chorus]
Would you dance for me too?
I'm counting on you
The corner shop closes in under an hour
Let's buy too much booze and get drunk in the shower
[Verse 2]
Thinkin' in figures of eight and it's easy 'cause
I know what it adds up to
Every day is the same but you gave me a brand new set of numbers
Life's in a different colour
[Chorus]
Would you dance for me too?
We'll make Peppa Pig plasters the coolest new trend
I never asked for my childhood to end
[Outro]
I'm trapped in my tiny human brain and it's killing me
But I'm fine, yeah I'm alright
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
I'm trapped in my tiny human brain and it's killing me
But I'm fine, yeah I'm alright
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
