Gracious Pirouette

from Night Rolls Open by Andy Gibson

/

lyrics

everything’s heavy when you’re down
purpose is lost in the clouds
and those who say they love you are just being kind to you

everything’s easy when you’re free
just to be where you want to be
just close the door and turn the key

as you graciously pirouette on a pinhead
those who really love you are doing the same as you
when you can’t force the spinning to synchronise
once in every turn you can look in their eyes

everything’s darker when you’re down
but the world keep’s on spinning around
when the chemicals inside you are making you frown
