She said you'd given up
Your folks told me you should be left alone
On a mountain top
Knocking the aeroplanes down with stones
Do the whirlwind
And carry the hope that stings all night long
Don't abandon him
'cause he quivers when he hears your song
Believe me, it's safe to see
At least be confused about right and wrong
Plan to settle down
Over the moon under the sun
Do the whirlwind
And shotgun the seat that beats (beats)
Hanging on to the one you love
To keep, keepin', sleepin', dreamin' on
Folks given up under the quivers and lines
You do the whirlwind
Don't abandon
Get a handle of yourself, son
(Ohhh... ohh ohh ohh ohh...)
(Do the whirlwind, do the whirlwind...)
