Spin Girl Spin © Robert Victor & Sun PK

 You can hear this song and more of the 100th Monkey at CD Baby

 

Never

You never want to look

Beyond the cover of the book

Putting on a lovely face

Thinking time will erase

That sinking shrinking feeling

But it’s only a moment of joy shaped like a pill you’re stealing

   - Oh you silly thief -

 

Chorus:

 

Spin girl spin

   The carnival’s in town

Spin girl spin

   The fortune wheel goes ‘round and ‘round

Spin girl spin

   Drown your inner screams

   By dancing all around your dreams

   When you try to sleep

   Pray the lord your soul to keep

   Ah but even he couldn’t catch the wind

Spin girl spin

 

 

Only

If only you could block

The din of the ever ticking clock

You muffle it with make-up

And hope you never wake up

Any older for your excesses

But the years have taken their toll on all you pretty dresses

 

Chorus

 

Bridge:

Under cover of the night
That’s where you can hide   You lost at the game
Under cover of the flashing lights
Where none can see reality So you donned borrowed plumes
Toss away your youth
Where nothing is redeemed Wearing the fragrance
Behind a smoky screen
Numb to the bitter sting Of artificial blooms
Wearing a disguise
Woven from a yarn of lies Your story has countless names
Throw caution to the wind
Throw your head back and laugh Oh fallen angel
Throw your hands up You’re one of countless shames
And spin...and spin...and spin

 

Chorus
