Lyrics

0:03The build up lasted for days'

0:16Lasted for weeks'

0:31Lasted too long

0:48Our hero withdrew'

1:02When there was two'

1:10He could not choose one'

1:18So there was none

1:26Worn into the vaguely announced

1:41Worn into the vaguely announced

2:03The spinning top made a sound

2:06Like a train across the valley'

2:10Fading' oh so quiet

2:14But constant til it passed'

2:17Over the ridge into the distances

2:21Written on your ticket

2:25To remind you where to stop'

2:28And when to get off

2:33The spinning top made a sound

2:37Like a train across the valley'

2:41Fading' oh so quiet

2:44But constant til it passed'

2:48Over the ridge into the distances

2:51Written on your ticket

2:55To remind you where to stop'

2:59And when to get off

3:01The spinning top made a sound

3:05Like a train across the valley'

3:09Fading' oh so quiet

3:12But constant til it passed'

3:16Over the ridge into the distances

3:20Written on your ticket

3:23To remind you where to stop'

3:27And when to get off

3:34When to get off

3:41When to get off

3:48When to get off

3:51End

The build up lasted for days'
Lasted for weeks'
Lasted too long
Our hero withdrew'
When there was two'
He could not choose one'
So there was none
Worn into the vaguely announced
Worn into the vaguely announced
The spinning top made a sound
Like a train across the valley'
Fading' oh so quiet
But constant til it passed'
Over the ridge into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop'
And when to get off
The spinning top made a sound
Like a train across the valley'
Fading' oh so quiet
But constant til it passed'
Over the ridge into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop'
And when to get off
The spinning top made a sound
Like a train across the valley'
Fading' oh so quiet
But constant til it passed'
Over the ridge into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop'
And when to get off
When to get off
When to get off
When to get off
End
