"Figure Eights In My Head" lyrics

"Figure Eights In My Head"

Blazin' a trail out to Tallyrand
Hopped the fence with the razor wire, sped off to Sassaquin Pits
Nicky don't care no better
I wanna feel that way again, so
Let's go down to the river at night
Go down to the river

Are you ready? I'm ready
Are you ready? I'm ready

Climbed the tower to the tops
Smashed the glass globes
Laughed as they dropped
I knew there was a reason I got up this morning
I got to feel the glory

Now I want it all the time
Used to dream about this every day
Now it's standing right in front of me
The mighty dirty dollar make a monster outta man
Cloggin' up the gutter, it's enough to make ya mad
Call me when you wanna take the fight to all of that
You and I, my friend, we built this thing together

I got that Mona Lisa secret sinner grin
I got that Muddy Waters song stuck in my head
I knew there was a reason I got up this morning
Hope this feeling never ends
I wanna mix it up while I still can
It's doing figure eights in my head
It's doing figure eights in my head

Are you ready? I'm ready
Are you ready? I'm ready
Are you ready? I'm ready
Are you ready? I'm ready

The mighty dirty dollar make a monster outta man
Cloggin' up the gutter, it's enough to make ya mad
Call me when you wanna take the fight to all of that
Don't you understand?
You and I, my friend, we built this thing together
