Lyrics Spiral - Jethro Tull

Spiral

Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue —
Lined with poppy girls
I didn’t stop, stop to say hello
Curious vendors — waving bric-a-brac —
Looked me over —
Thought it best, best that I should go
Don’t wake me: I’m falling
Slow spiral into morning
Who’s out there?
Can’t hear you
Ears covered — early warning
Alarm bells ringing
Time to make my peace with the dreary day
I waited tables — I was tipped in roubles
Wine to water
Was the best that I could do
Wild office parties split the silence
Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two
Down the spiral, spinning madly
Gathering momentum
On a disneyesque adventure ride
I fly in colours from richer palettes
Famous artists running scared as worlds collide
