Spin
from THANK YOU! by The Real Numbers
lyrics
Spin, just like a top
spin-cycle stop
just for a moment then begin spinning again
I was a friend
but spin cycle's got no time to spend
lying on the grass and counting stars
there goes Venus and Mars
Galileo knew it was true
the world don't spin around you
Spin, under my skin
digging right in
cause you've never seen the damage done
a wing and a prayer, you're too hip to care
gotta look out for number one
minute of your day spent on your own
by the lake throwing stones
they skip across without falling in
if you know just how to make them spin
Right now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down
(nah nah nah...)
Hey now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down now
Day out and day in, where have you been?
Practically going nowhere fast
Lookin' so thin man, you're out on a limb
how long will the next spin-cycle last
chance to take your seats and place your bets
on this chaos roulette
where she stops nobody can say
on the black or red (black or red)
or a shade of gray
Right now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down
(spinning up spinning down spinning out spin around)
Hey now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down now
(spinning up spinning down spinning out spin around)
Right now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down
(spinning up spinning down spinning out spin around)
Hey now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down now
(spinning up spinning down spin around)
spin-cycle stop
just for a moment then begin spinning again
I was a friend
but spin cycle's got no time to spend
lying on the grass and counting stars
there goes Venus and Mars
Galileo knew it was true
the world don't spin around you
Spin, under my skin
digging right in
cause you've never seen the damage done
a wing and a prayer, you're too hip to care
gotta look out for number one
minute of your day spent on your own
by the lake throwing stones
they skip across without falling in
if you know just how to make them spin
Right now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down
(nah nah nah...)
Hey now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down now
Day out and day in, where have you been?
Practically going nowhere fast
Lookin' so thin man, you're out on a limb
how long will the next spin-cycle last
chance to take your seats and place your bets
on this chaos roulette
where she stops nobody can say
on the black or red (black or red)
or a shade of gray
Right now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down
(spinning up spinning down spinning out spin around)
Hey now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down now
(spinning up spinning down spinning out spin around)
Right now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down
(spinning up spinning down spinning out spin around)
Hey now it's going around
your spinning's beginning to get us all down now
(spinning up spinning down spin around)
