Eight

by Andrew Bird

Lyrics
One just reached for her gun
Two is sliuped in the corner
Three is making a plea
for someone to adore her
Five is buried alive
Six is out on the street throwing bricks now
Seven, let's just skip over seven
shall we and get to eight

Since my days are numbered
I am unencumbered by fate
Don't you look so certain
till you lay your burden down

Nine is waiting to shine
Ten is stuck at the border
11 is my two-legged brethren
12 is a hoarder
Now 13 just might be the worst
14 has a secret and it's ready to burst
Now 15 goes with the ice queen into the foyer

I sense my days are numbered
I am unencumbered by fate, fate
Don't you look so certain
till you lay your burden down

Since my days are numbered
I feel unencumbered by fate
Don't you look so certain
till you lay your burden down
