Spiraling Shape Lyrics

    Down, down, down you go
    No way to stop
    As you fall, hear me call
    No, no, no
    Listen to this warning and
    Consider these
    Simple words of advice
    Stop, stop, stop

    Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
    In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
    Putting all reason aside you exchange
    What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange

    The 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 like
    But everyone says it's great
    And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes

    This could lead to excellence
    Or serious injury
    Only one way to know
    Go, go, go
    Go ahead, wreck your life
    That might be good
    Who can say what's wrong or right?
    Nobody can

    Put out your hands and you fall through the window
    And clawing at nothing you drop through the void
    Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned
    In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape

    The 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 report
    That the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fake
    You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it
    There won't be a refund, you'll never go back

    The 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 like
    But everyone says it's great
    And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes
    (spiral in their eyes)

    Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
    In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
    Putting all reason aside you exchange
    What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange

    The 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)
