Lyrics
Verse 1
Into the future unknown
I'm hanging on the end of this, glass telephone
Watching and wondering, which way the wind will blow
Do you know?
Verse 2
And I can't help but see
The river flow
Some places its straight ahead
Other places its, round and round like whirlpool. It goes,
Round and round like whirlpool, It goes,
Chorus
And I I I wouldn't mind to know
If you ooh ooh, wouldn't mind to show
You know
Verse 3
I feel like a beetle
Crawling cross a rock
It looks for all the world like, nothing could shock
Bird skims the water, and banks to the west
I wonder what she likes the best
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
Verse 4
I'm shingle mingling with rock, a thousand times my size
But there are more than me, mind you, theres lots of them to
I've been eroded by the wind
And theres waves, all over my skin
Chorus
Round and round like a whirlpool
