lyrics

I had it once before but now its gone
and I’m always reminded how frail it really is
now I know that's no concession to you
but when your searching deep inside what can you do

I’m spinning like a top
I don't know which ways up
I’m spinning like a top
and I dare not say its merely a game

sometimes the best go down to dizziness
sometimes the truest test is pure recklessness
and don't think it cant happen to you
because it just might require that to

I’m spinning like a top
I don't know which ways up
I’m spinning like a top
and I dare not say its merely a game

why are we so willing to put it in our mouths
when we’re so often reminded how bitter tasting life is
well I held it in my hands but that was purely circumstance
cause I know not what I have until its gone

I’m spinning like a top
I don't know which ways up
I’m spinning like a top
and I dare not say its merely a game
