This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste - Well it all keeps spinning, spinning, round and round and upside down
It's like a dream - No end and no beginning
There's no beginning and there is no end
Round and round the world we go - Back and forth in time - Always looking for the new sensation - Bigger and better every time
The world is spinning, turning day to night - And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Sitting 'til the sun goes down - In dreams, the world keeps going 'round and 'round
We are a rock revolving around a golden sun
Before the earth was round, there was no end to things - And no one tried to measure what they knew
Going down, going down, round and round - All around, all around, all around
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound - We can talk all we want to, but the world still goes around and round
Again and again and again and again and again...
And the world keeps spinning 'round - But my world's upside down, and I wouldn't change a thing
Summer, it turns me upside down - Summer, summer, summer - It's like a merry-go-round
Round and round it goes and oh, don't you know, oh, this is the game that we came here for
Round and round and round and round and round we go
Would be sure to set you spinnin' with you feet never touchin' the ground - And I'm round and round and round and round and round and round and round
We all make the world go 'round Together, all of us We all make the world go 'round And 'round and 'round
Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
Circle in the sand - Round and round - Never ending love is what we've found
I saw the world spin beneath you
Is it love that makes your world go 'round and 'round?
Axis spins so round and round we go Where we're going no one really knows Here we, here we, here we, here we go Feel the fire way down below
And Albert's vision's blooming uncontrolled - All his wings are slowly sinking
The world's just spinning a little too fast - If things don't slow down soon, we might not last - So just for a moment, let's be still
Night after night, watching the sky move - But never feel the earth spinning around
There's a man on the moon and he says that he's not coming down - But he's thinking of you every time the world spins around
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were.
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round
We are on a rock, spinnin' silently
So when will this end? It goes on and on - Over and over and over again - Keep spinning around, I know that it won't stop until I step down from this for good
The universe works on a math equation that never even ever really ends in the end - Infinity spirals out creation
He looks around, around, he sees angels in the architecture - Spinning in infinity - He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
Why don't you guide me in if I'm such a lost soul? I'm spinning around
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head
It's lost and can't be found, It's spinning round and round - Slow it down
Oh you, you keep me hangin' - 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
The world’s still spinning ’round we don’t know why
