Dreidel |
| I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel |
| The spinning don’t stop when you leave the cradle |
| You just slow down |
| Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know |
| We all slow down |
| How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? |
| How you gonna keep from turning your life away? |
| No days you can borrow, no time you can buy. |
| No trust in tomorrow. |
| It’s a lie. |
| And I feel like I’m dippin' and divin'. |
| My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels. |
| I’m lost in this star car I’m drivin'. |
| But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels. |
| My world is a constant confusion. |
| My mind is prepared to attack. |
| My past a persuasive illusion. |
| I’m watchin' the future it’s black. |
| What do you know? |
| You know just what you perceive. |
| What can you show? |
| Nothing of what you believe. |
| And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave |
| Will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs |
| As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds |
| And you wound yourself and your loved one bleed |
| And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds |
| On all that you thought you should be I never thought this could happen to me. |
| I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. |
| The spinning don’t stop when you leave the cradle. |
| You just slow down. |
| Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know. |
| We all slow down. |
| How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? |
| How you gonna keep from turning your life away? |
| Oh. |
| I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. |
| The spinning don’t stop when you leave the cradle. |
| You just slow down. |
