Spinnin’ like the stars round  & round

Gravity fails I leave the ground

Flat on my back I’m rollin’ ‘cross the sky

The grass is soft  & wet with dew

My coat’s too thin  I’m soaked right through

Chilled to the bone now feelin’ too alive

    And one more beer is two more than it takes

    One more time is still the same mistake

    And the young girls smokin’ cigarettes

    Just like they really know

    Spin me lie a wheel watch me as I go

Struggle like a puppet to my feet

Walk a crooked line out to the street

Trippin’ over lovers in the dark

Can’t find my car I curse the night

Like a cheap tin watch wound up too tight

Run  & hide on a bench out in the park

    And I’m singin’ every song I ever heard

    Struggle to remember every word

    And the young girls smokin’ cigarettes

    Just like they really know

    Spin like a wheel watch me as I go

Got my hand sin my pockets now it’s startin’ to rain

Ain’t got no chances ain’t got no change

Sunk like a stone my heart’s gaspin’ for air

There’s a light in a window soft as a sigh

Turns my head as I’m passin’ by

Shadows tellin’ secrets I can’t share

    And the crazy neon colors slash the night

    Wasted I can see just black  &white

    And the young girls smokin’ cigarettes

    Just like they really know

    Spin like a wheel watch me as I go
