Spiral Songtext
von Giant Sand

There′s a lot of people out there
Having a hard time tonight
Amongst the whispers of revolution
And shouts of hang on tight

A lot of crippled hearts out there
Some will never mend
We're losing our patience
Losing too many good men

Some say it′s the end time
Some say it's all just begun
Some are hiding in the churches
Some are hiding in the gun

Some are thinking it's extinction
Some are swearing by salvation
Not Nostradamus or not revelation


You come on down, you spiral down
Come down, well within this regency
Put it down, you can jot it down
Reinvent some form of decency

It sure is getting harder
And the water′s been on the rise
Don′t wanna live forever
But another generation would be nice

And you come on down, you fall on down
Well within this regency
You can jot it down, spiral it down
Reinvent some form of decency

There's a lot of people out there
Having a hard time tonight
Murmuring revolutions
Shouting hang on tight

There′s a lot of hearts out there now
Some will never mend

And you come on down, put it down
File all down in this regency
Spiral it down, put it down
Reinvent some form of decency
