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
