I feel like a spinnin?top or a dreidel --

The spinnin?dont stop when you leave the cradle,

You just slow down.

Round and around this world you go,

Spinnin?through the lives of the people you know --

We all slow down.



How you gonna keep from turnin?from day to day?

How you gonna?keep from turnin?your life away?

No days you can borrow, no time you can buy,

No trust in tomorrow, its a lie.



I feel like a spinnin?top or a dreidel --

The spinnin?dont stop when you leave the cradle,

You just slow down.

Round and around this world you go,

Spinnin?through the lives of the people you know --

We all slow down.



How you gonna keep from turnin?from day to day?

How you gonna?keep from turnin?your life away?

No days you can borrow, no time you can buy,

No trust in tomorrow, its a lie.



And I feel like Im a dippin?and a-divin?

My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels.

Im lost in this star car Im a-drivin?

But my air soul keeps pushin?big wheels.



My world is a constant confusion,

My mind is prepared to attack --

My past, a persuasive illusion,

Im watchin?the future its black.



What do you know? You know just what you perceive.

What can you show? Nothin?of what you believe,

And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave

Will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs

As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds,

And you wound yourself and your loved one bleeds,

And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds

On all that you thought you should be --

I never thought this could happen to Meeeeeeeece
