Song byJack's Mannequin

in AlbumThe Glass Passenger

I'm keeping quiet til there's no more sirens

Lately it's hard to keep the hinges on with all the noise

I'll find my words when there's no one talking

The room is spinning, I have got no choice

Be patient, I am getting to the point.

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly

So I just waited with the lights turned out again

I lost my place but I can't stop this story

I've found my way, but until then

I'm only spinning

I'm keeping quiet til the phone stops ringing

Lately it's hard to disconnect, I just want something real

I've found the words if I could just stop thinking

The room is spinning, I have got no choice

Be patient, I am getting to the point.

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly

So I just waited with the lights turned out again

I lost my place but I can't stop this story

I've found my way, but until then

I'm only spinning

Spin beneath the rooftop

Hold on, wait until the room stops

Spinning

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly

So I just waited with the lights turned out again

I lost my place but I can't stop this story

I've found my way, but in the end

We're only spinning

I keep forgetting when the earth turned slowly

So I just waited til the lights come on again

I lost my place but I can't stop this story

I've found my way, but until then

I'm only spinning

Spinning
