They Might Be Giants - Spiraling Shape Lyrics
Down, down, down you goNo way to stopAs you fall, hear me callNo, no, noListen to this warning andConsider theseSimple words of adviceStop, stop, stopFogging the view, cupping face to the windowIn darkness you make out a spiralling shapePutting all reason aside you exchangeWhat you got for a thing thats hypnotic and strangeThe spiralling shape will make you go insane(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)But everyone wants to see that groovy thing(everyone wants to see that thing)And nobody knows what its really likeBut everyone says its greatAnd they heard it from the spiral in their eyesThis could lead to excellenceOr serious injuryOnly one way to knowGo, go, goGo ahead, wreck your lifeThat might be goodWho can say whats wrong or right?Nobody canPut out your hands and you fall through the windowAnd clawing at nothing you drop through the voidYour terrified screams are inaudible drownedIn the spiral ahead and consumed in the shapeThe spiralling shape will make you go insane(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)But everyone wants to see that groovy thing(everyone wants to see that thing)And now that youve tried it, youre back to reportThat the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fakeYou didnt enjoy it, you never believed itThere wont be a refund, youll never go backThe spiralling shape will make you go insane(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)But everyone wants to see that groovy thing(everyone wants to see that thing)And nobody knows what its really likeBut everyone says its greatAnd they heard it from the spiral in their eyes(spiral in their eyes)Fogging the view, cupping face to the windowIn darkness you make out a spiralling shapePutting all reason aside you exchangeWhat you got for a thing thats hypnotic and strangeThe spiralling shape will make you go insane(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)But everyone wants to see that groovy thing(everyone wants to see that thing)Dont spend the rest of your life wondering(everyone wants to see that thing)Dont spend the rest of your life wondering(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)Dont spend the rest of your life wondering(everyone wants to see that thing)
