  • Spinning out, gracefully, goin' nowhere, quickly
    I am older, day by day
    But still goin' back to my childhood way
    Circuital, 'round and 'round, patiently
    Getting lost by the guide
    And I am all worked up over nothing
    Circuits, all runnin' out
    Connect my body deep into the ground

    Circuit, connect the earth to the moon
    And link our heavenly bodies not a moment too soon
    Well you can fling open the windows or you can board 'em up
    Satan's jeweled crown or Christ's humble cup
    You think you'll find yourself out there out in the lion's den?
    In some bloody battle over belief systems

    Or disappear into the vacuum total neutrality
    Where you can't lose nothin' but nothin' can be gained
    Well any way you cut it we're just spinnin' 'round
    Out on the circuit, over the hallowed ground
    Out on the circuit, over the hallowed ground
    Endin' up in the same place hat we started out
    Right back in the same place that we started out Writer/s: Jim Edward Olliges Jr.
