Spiralling Shape |
Down, down, down you go |
No way to stop |
As you fall, hear me call |
No, no, no |
Listen to this warning and |
Consider these |
Simple words of advice |
Stop, stop, stop |
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window |
In darkness you make out a spiraling shape |
Putting all reason aside you exchange |
What you got for a thing that’s hypnotic and strange |
The spiraling shape will make you go insane |
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) |
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing |
(Everyone wants to see that thing) |
And nobody knows what it’s really like |
But everyone says it’s great |
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes |
This could lead to excellence |
Or serious injury |
Only one way to know |
Go, go, go |
Go ahead, wreck your life |
That might be good |
Who can say what’s wrong or right? |
Nobody can |
Put out your hands and you fall through the window |
And clawing at nothing you drop through the void |
Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned |
In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape |
The spiraling shape will make you go insane |
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) |
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing |
(Everyone wants to see that thing) |
And now that you’ve tried it, you’re back to report |
That the spiraling shape was a fraud and a fake |
You didn’t enjoy it, you never believed it |
There won’t be a refund, you’ll never go back |
The spiraling shape will make you go insane |
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) |
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing |
(Everyone wants to see that thing) |
And nobody knows what it’s really like |
But everyone says it’s great |
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes |
(Spiral in their eyes) |
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window |
In darkness you make out a spiraling shape |
Putting all reason aside you exchange |
What you got for a thing that’s hypnotic and strange |
The spiraling shape will make you go insane |
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) |
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing |
(Everyone wants to see that thing) |
Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering |
(Everyone wants to see that thing) |
Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering |
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) |
Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering |
(Everyone wants to see that thing) |
