The Spinning Top Song Songtext
von The Triffids

Well I made goot time but took some bad advice
I got lost in the salt lakes maybe once or twice
Days went missing, weeks they folded in two
I lost track of them. I don′t pine for you

You're either on my arm or under my heel
Hurt me all you can, you don′t know how good I feel
Everything I touch turns to purple and gold
I keep on living like this. I know I'll never get old


Chorus:
I'm a spinning top, I′m a catherine wheel
I′m a sideshow freak, I'm a ribbon of steel
Listen good buddy to the words of my song
I never fade out cos I′m already gone, yoo-hoo
yeah yeah yeah, yodelay-hee-ho...

I'm an open cut I take too much dirt
I never close up I drink an ocean of hurt
I am a topless bar I make you feel alright
Flashing neon sign says "Open All Night"

(chorus)

Well I′m cold and hungry but don't hold me tight
I just shake cos I′m living at the speed of light

(chorus)
