Lyrics

SPINNING TOP

'Round and around and around we go
never knowing why
Like pinwheels in the wind on a
giant marble in the sky
Here on life's playground, so many attractions
I'm dazed and confused
I've switched direction so many times,
I don't know where I'm going to

I'm a spinning top and I don't know where I'll stop
and that's just the way it goes
My spinning thoughts get all tied up in a knot
but I think I'm getting close
to some kind of answers

Now, I don't claim to be perfect
I don't even claim to be sane
All I can do is spin my wheels time and time again
Don't try to understand,
I won't try to explain
I'll just do this dance, play this game
'Round and around and around again
I guess I can't complain

I'm a spinning top and I don't know where I'll stop
and that's just the way it goes
My spinning thoughts get all tied up in a knot
but I think I'm getting close
to some kind of answers

(Instrumental)

Sometimes I spin too fast, get dizzy and fall down
That's when I need a pair of lovin' hands
to bring me back around

I'm a spinning top and I don't know where I'll stop
and that's just the way it goes
My spinning thoughts get all tied up in a knot
but I think I'm getting close
to some kind of answers
