Ian Anderson - Spiral lyrics

Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue - Lined with poppy girls I didn't stop, stop to say hello Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac - Looked me over - Thought it best, best that I should go Don't wake me: I'm falling Slow spiral into morning Who's out there? Can't hear you Ears covered - early warning Alarm bells ringing Time to make my peace with the dreary day I waited tables - I was tipped in roubles Wine to water Was the best that I could do Wild office parties split the silence Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two Down the spiral, spinning madly Gathering momentum On a disneyesque adventure ride I fly in colours from richer palettes Famous artists running scared as worlds collide
