songs: FIGURE OF EIGHT
availability
anecdotes
"When I used to come back from a tour the first thing I would do is go to Central Park - that was just a total love fest day, it's like walking and seeing all of these kids hanging out listening to Ricky Martin and it's just kind of a "life is good" thing.." - interview, October 30 2001
lyrics
noon siesta floating off the radio
may has come to rescue central park
watch the kids revive the sounds of mexico
it gives them a spark and something to breathe
the beauty of everything unseen
the figure of eight goes 'round, leaves you alive where you started
it's good to be up when you're down so what were you waiting for
if all of your past is now
the figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around

these are days you read about in magazines
these are times they used to call a book
every option sitting here in front of me
could give me a look sweet on the vine
i take them back home and make them mine
the figure of eight goes 'round, leaves you alive where you started
it's good to be up when you're down so what were you waiting for
if all of your past is now
the figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around

in a maze of broken dreams it is all just what it seems
and a sweet, forgotten sound goes around
noon siesta floating off the radio
may has come to rescue central park
watch the kids revive the sounds of mexico
it gives them a spark
the figure of eight goes 'round, leaves you alive where you started
it's good to be up when you're down so what were you waiting for
if all of your past is now
the figure of eight, the figure of eight goes around
