Spiral

(альбом: J-Tull Dot Com - 1999)

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 tables 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.
