Orion's high in the south-west sky --

you're bound to move on and so am i.

on this world we've had time to burn --

how come nobody ever seems to learn?

see how the starwheel turns.



crystal drift on the whistling wind --

constant change is the space we're in.

you may use a slide rule or a golden crown

but nothing's worth it that you can pin down --

see how the starwheel turns.



don't go playing no shell game with God --

only Satan's going to give you odds.

we're given love and love must be returned --

that's all the bearings that you need to learn.

see how the starwheel turns.
