The build-up
Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long
Our hero withdrew
When there was two
He could not choose one
So there was none
Worn into the vaguely announced [Repeat: x1]
[Chorus: x2]
The spinning top made a sound
Like a train across the valley
Fading, oh so quiet
But constant till it pa**ed
Over the ridge into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
