Spiral lyrics

Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue

Lined with poppy girls.

I didn't stop to say, to say hello.

Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac

Looked me over

Thought it best, best that I should go.

Don't wake me: I'm falling.

Slow spiral into morning.

I waited tables - I was tipped in roubles.

Wine to water

Was the best that I could do.

Wild office parties split the silence.

Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two.

Don't wake me: I'm falling.

Slow spiral into morning.

Who's out there? Can't hear you.

Ears covered - early warning.

Alarm bells ringing.

Time to make my peace with the dreary day.

Spiral, spiral, spiral.

Down the spiral, spinning madly.

Gathering momentum

On a disneyesque adventure ride.

I fly in colours from richer palettes.

Famous artists running scared as worlds as worlds collide.

Don't wake me: I'm falling.

Slow spiral into morning.

Who's out there? Can't hear you.

Ears covered - early warning.

Alarm bells ringing.

Time to make my peace with the dreary day.

Spiral, spiral, spiral.
