Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, once you get me going

Yeah, once you get me going

Yeah, once you get me going

Yeah, once you get me

I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to—

[Verse 1]

Yeah, once you get me going

Drained me dry

Down to the last drop

Yeah, once you get me going

Pearls before swine, all flowers die

Tapped the last good vein, don't know how to shut it off

[PreChorus]

Yeah, once you get me going

I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

Yeah, once you get me going

I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to—

[Chorus]

All for your sake

Became the very thing that I hate

I lost my way

Spinning in an endless figure 8

Yeah, once you get me going

Yeah, once you get me—

[Verse 2]

I

Won't miss the feeling

My flimsy spine

Unsuspicious mind

I was only being kind

But you mistook me for weak

[PreChorus]

And once I get going

Mmm-hmm

I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to stop

Going

Ooh, yeah

I don't know how to stop

I don't know how to—

[Chorus]

All for your sake

Became the very thing that I hate

I lost my way

Spinning in an endless figure

[Outro]

All for your sake

Became the very thing I hate

I lost my way

Ending in this figure 8

All for your sake

Became the very thing I hate

I lost my way

Spinning in a figure 8

Spinning in a figure 8

Spinning in a figure 8

Spinning in a figure 8

Spinning in a figure 8

All for your sake

Became the very thing I hate

I lost my way, my way, my way

I lost my way

Spinning in a figure 8

Figure 8
