Song that you sing says your heart's in a spin
Head's in a whirl
Oh, father girl
Again and again the words follow around
Look at the mouth
And guess at the sound
Never, no, never, no, never again
I say it each time as I bend at the string
Just one more word
Daring to push too far away
Like a character mime Watching the world slide sideways
I'm falling,
arching and diving The scene is a sea
If I was you would I want to be me?
The quiet of the crisis before the storm
calm So steady the fingers that grip at my arm
I look in control But inside I'm spinning around
Round like a waltzing for time I've
heard your words now you listen to mine
You've got that look like you've hung up the phone
Glazed over eyes say there's nobody home
No one's going to tell me what to do
I've heard it before and not only from you
And now it looks like I'm going to hear it
again
I'm a child I span like a top
The room was a ship
Rocking and railing The rush in my ears blocked the sound
And the tears and the shouting screams Came from the
ceiling The hand on my neck tipped my head to the book
You didn't see that you had no right to look You said nobody's fighting
Just kiss and forget It's after the silence the freezing cold night
The passion so violent,
fiercer than the fight The smell of the leather,
the crush to my cheek
From kissing the book made my lips burn to speak
I know you can't see it but please just believe
The years may have passed,
they're all touched with the grief Only boys cry and I'm small inside
Tonight is the same as the night before Your
rim still charred and I fall to the floor
But grinding up feelings the day said
we'd die I'm still just as strong,
I'm just one more lie
This ride I'm running is getting nowhere I've
a head full of words and a lung full of air
I want them to scream, show me
Show me you care
Round round,
nothing sinks in How can I think when I just spin
And countdown,
nothing sinks in
How can I think when the moon keeps spinning
Round round,
nothing sinks in How can I think when you keep spinning
round round nothing sinks in how can I think
when the world keeps spinning round round nothing
sinks in how can I think when the world keeps
spinning round round nothing sinks in how can
I think when the world keeps spinning round round
nothing sinks in how can I think when the world
nothing sinks in how can I think when the
world keeps spinning round round nothing
sinks in
how can I think when the world keeps
spinning round round nothing sinks
in
