I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel The spinning don’t stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down Round and around this world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know We all slow down How you gonna keep on turnin’ from day to day? How you gonna keep from turnin’ your life away? ---
