Spiral
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue 
Lined with poppy girls
I didn't stop, stop 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
Who's out there? Can't hear you
Ears covered - early warning
Alarm bells ringing
Time to make my peace with the dreary day

I waited atbles - 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

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 collide
