Eight Songtext
von Andrew Bird

One just reached for her gun, two′s slumped 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 'til you lay your burden down


Nine is waiting to shine, ten is stuck at the border
11's 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 'til you lay your burden down
Since my days are numbered, I feel unencumbered by fate
Don′t you look so certain 'til you lay your burden down
