They Might Be Giants - Spiralling 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 that's 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 it's really likeBut everyone says it's 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 what's 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 you've tried it, you're back to reportThat the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fakeYou didn't enjoy it, you never believed itThere won't be a refund, you'll 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 it's really likeBut everyone says it's 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 that's 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)Don't spend the rest of your life wondering(Everyone wants to see that thing)Don't spend the rest of your life wondering(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)Don't spend the rest of your life wondering(Everyone wants to see that thing)
