My mind keeps spinnin’ around and round and round
Thoughts keep on talkin,
although my voice doesn’t make a sound.
Is there no escapin it? There’s no escape I ever found!
As my mind keeps spinnin,
around and round and round...
With the best intentions, and new inventions,
I cannot seem to get a grip
on my thoughts so quick to slip...
Away I’m thinkin, but pretty soon I’m sinkin
back again into despair, like a bird shot from the air.
My thoughts go racin off into the great unknown.
Spinnin at the speed of thought
sends fire racin through my bones.
These mental odysseys I don’t know if I condone...
as my thoughts go racin off into the great unknown...
Chorus:
There’s work to be done... and work should be fun.
Too often works is hard to do
when my mind won’t see me through.
I get distracted! My thoughts refracted
like a light’s rays through the lens,
never to be the same again!
My mind keeps spinnin’ around and round and round
Thoughts keep on talkin,
although my voice doesn’t make a sound.
Is there no escapin it? There’s no escape I ever found!
As my mind keeps spinnin,
around and round and round...
