Lyrics

She's got a terrible affliction
That is spinning around like a top
But it is a common addiction
She follows the rules and can't stop
She doesn't care what they're there for
She doesn't know what they mean
To stray from the norm she does abhor
She thinks questioning rules is obscene
Spinning around, she is spinning around
She is trapped in a terrible course
Shallow and broken, miserably unspoken
The groove she is in's reinforced
One day the rules might kill her
She spared not a thought to their source
If she dies as a result of her ardor
She will feel not a drop of remorse
She's got a terrible affliction
That is spinning around like a top
But it is a common addiction
She follows the rules and can't stop
Spinning around, she is spinning around
She is trapped in a terrible course
Shallow and broken, miserably unspoken
The groove she is in's reinforced
Spinning around, she is spinning around
She is trapped in a terrible course
Shallow and broken, miserably unspoken
The groove she is in's reinforced
She's got a terrible affliction
That is spinning around like a top
But it is a common addiction
She follows the rules and can't stop
One day the rules might kill her
She spared not a thought to their source
If she dies as a result of her ardor
She will feel not a drop of remorse
