Song | Dreidel |
Artist | Don McLean |
Album | The Best Of Don McLean |
I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel | |
The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle | |
You just slow down | |
Round and around the world you go | |
Spinning through the lives of the people you know | |
We all slow down | |
How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? | |
How you gonna keep from turning your life away? | |
No days you can borrow, no time you can buy. | |
No trust in tomorrow. It's a lie. | |
And I feel like I'm dippin' and divin'. | |
My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels. | |
I'm lost in this star car I'm drivin'. | |
But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels. | |
My world is a constant confusion. | |
My mind is prepared to attack. | |
My past a persuasive illusion. | |
I'm watchin' the future it's black. | |
What do you know? | |
You know just what you perceive. | |
What can you show? | |
Nothing of what you believe. | |
And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave | |
Will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs | |
As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds | |
And you wound yourself and your loved one bleed | |
And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds | |
On all that you thought you should be | |
I never thought this could happen to me. | |
I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. | |
The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle. | |
You just slow down. | |
Round and around the world you go | |
Spinning through the lives of the people you know. | |
We all slow down. | |
How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? | |
How you gonna keep from turning your life away? Oh.. | |
I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. | |
The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle. | |
You just slow down. |
I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel | |
The spinning don' t stop when you leave the cradle | |
You just slow down | |
Round and around the world you go | |
Spinning through the lives of the people you know | |
We all slow down | |
How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? | |
How you gonna keep from turning your life away? | |
No days you can borrow, no time you can buy. | |
No trust in tomorrow. It' s a lie. | |
And I feel like I' m dippin' and divin'. | |
My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels. | |
I' m lost in this star car I' m drivin'. | |
But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels. | |
My world is a constant confusion. | |
My mind is prepared to attack. | |
My past a persuasive illusion. | |
