LYRICS:

PYGMALION (from Exhibition by Eight Two)

How does she hear
How does she feel
How does she know
What's real

She doesn't sleep
She lives a dream
She doesn't eat
Except ice cream

She's an escape
Honey of hope
She'll throw us a rope
To the stars

She's a space alien
She doesn't know the meaning of man (the only one)
If love's a decision can I shun a collision
With the dangerous body she's on (the only one)
Nine six one eight nine Pygmalion

If I go with her

After the end
With no world to mend
And no bitter end
To defend

But what do I gain
If I go insane
With no wind and rain
To blame

Will life be a lie
A tomb in the sky
Is it better to stay 
And die
 
Love has hope
Love can make me cope (You are going to make me sorry)
Love can get me through (If my mom knew she would worry)
Love has hope
Love can make me cope (You are going to make me sorry)

A rope
Watching the sun go down

There's a way, there's a hope
There's a way, there's a hope
There's a way, there's a hope (When I put my hand)
There's a way, there's a hope (When I put my hand)

There's a way, there's a hope (When I put my hand down her throat)
There's a way, there's a hope (I can feel her heart, I can feel it beat)
There's a way, there's a hope (When I put my hand where)
There's a way (I can feel her heart)

She's a space alien
She doesn't know the meaning of man (anyone)
If love's a decision can I shun a collision
With the dangerous body she's on (the only one)
Nine six one eight nine Pygmalion

Make me blind!

You made me blind

Why do things always go bad
Why do things always go wrong
Why does the government have to mess it up 
And go out killing people again
No more killing sprees Mr. President
Let's make love it's more fun...

LYRICS:

NO MATTER WHAT - from Exhibition by Eight Two

No matter what I do
I will always love you
No matter what you do
I will always love you

You can't take the truth, I'll be your lie
You go straight to jail, I will be your crime 

You're a frightened rose, I'll be your thorn
You're the end of the world, I'll be your bomb

You're a silent ghost, so I'll be your boo
You're a fuzzy bee, I'll be your honey

No matter what I do
I will always love you
No matter what you do
I will always love you

I take you, you take me, I do
I take you, you take me too
I take you, you take me, I do

For you I'd do anything, for you I'd let you go
For you I'd be anything, for you I'd be alone
For you I'd give everything, for you I'd leave you be
For you I'd love everything, for you I'd set you free

No matter what I do
I will always love you
No matter what you do
I will always love you

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ah-ahh
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ahh

No Matter What

LYRICS:
IT IS (THE BEST REVENGE) - from Exhibition by Eight Two

If you feel low, you should get down
Dance is the best revenge
If you feel low you should get down
Dancing is the best revenge

It is! It is! It is! It is!

If you feel, down
Dance! Revenge!
If you feel low, you should get down
Dance! Revenge!

It is! It is! It is! It is!

There is nowhere, to go to
And there's no time, to get there
There is no time, you should get down
'Cause dancing is the best revenge

It is! It is! It is! It is!

The best revenge
The best revenge
The best revenge
Is the best revenge!

Go wrong, at getting it wrong
Live wrong to love strong!

What is is!
The best!

It is! 'cause is is!  
The best, is!
The best, it is! 
The best revenge, is what is!

It is! It is! It is! It is!

It Is (The Best Revenge)

VENUS

New York define me
New York colliding
New York I’m climbing

You

Wondering if you think of me

If you think of me

Dada down da dadada dada down

Wondering where you are now
Wondering where you are now

Wondering about you
I
Wondering if you think of me

I f'you now don't know wh' th'ell you are
entered you no' don't know y'r number now

I fell so hard and you fell so far
I dented your car you totaled my heart

Wonder around the city

Every girl I love goes
Every girl I love goes crazy from me

Wondering about you
I wander through New York City

I feel alone
I feel alone

Wondering
Wondering (Wondering where you are now, wondering)

I wonder where you are
Wonder where you are
Wonder where you are
Where are you?
Wonder where
Oh where
I wonder where are you now

Wondering (Remix)

Wondering (remix)

Hey, I'm Eight Two (they/them)—a nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent genre fluid singer-songwriter and self-taught visual artist carving out my own space in the world of art rock. My journey began in the vibrant streets of Brooklyn in 2008, where I found solace and inspiration in the power of music.

As a multi-instrumentalist, my primary tools are the guitar and my voice, weaving together melodies that speak to the soul. From thought-provoking philosophical musings to uplifting motivational anthems, my songs are a reflection of my quest for creativity, connection, and meaning.

Despite navigating the world without social media or a phone, I'm here to share my sonic journey with you. Whether you're a fellow oddball, a seeker of truth, or simply someone looking for a bit of inspiration, there's a place for you in my musical universe.

So join me on this adventure as I craft my next album, fueled by authenticity, vulnerability, and a whole lot of heart. Together, let's explore the depths of our creativity, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate the beauty of being unapologetically ourselves.
