Spin

Spin spin spin
Spin spin till you drop
Spin spin spin
Spin spin lest they stop
The world spinning below you
Or the sky standing still
You're spinning in your head, you say?
Tell them... if you will.

Naysayers... each one of them
They'll bind you down, you'll see
They'll shackle you
And hold you down
With one hand
waving free.

Your thoughts
They'll spin around you
To places you shouldn't go
All your questions
They'll surround you
Tell you things
You shouldn't know.

And you'll spin spin spin
Spin spin till you drop...
Spin spin spin
Spin spin because you can't stop.

Vertigo

We swung
Crazy
Between extremes
Torrid high
Despondent low
And in between
There lay a why
The answer to which
We couldn't know
Along the edges
Of it's steep ascent
We rose unfettered
Our shackled wills
Were innocence
Wrapped in a hurricane
Driving us forth
Holding us still
And we swung
Crazy
Between extremes
Torrid high
Despondent low
Hopelessly distant
Scaldingly close
Have we been neither
Or have we been both?...
