watching the words as I'm hearing your voice
you seem to imply I have some other choice
than to follow your logic and stay in the game
though we both know the outcome is always the same

a torrent of syllables all swirl around
as I try to decode a particular sound
that will serve as a lamp post, a signal or a flame
to dispel the impression of more of the same

higher and higher we leave the ground
then we pull the lever together we’ll be making a sound
higher and higher we leave the ground
then we pull the lever together we’ll be laying down

tie me down and strap me in
and crush my heart and take a spin
around the block around the earth
a little time with little worth
is all that I have asked you for

so take a spin
take a spin
take a spin
take a spin
