Lyrics
Tailspin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, they stood prepared as you took the chair.
There was no need to satisfy you
I'll be damned though I held your hand
they felt the need to crucify you
You're goin' down baby baby
You're goin' down baby baby
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're a fragile flower in its finale hour
With no chance to taste the waters.
Judge declared "You'll get 15 yrs,
Join the lonely sons and daughters"
You're going down baby baby
You're going down baby baby
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
Smoke and mirrors couldn't hide your tears
Your eyes only betray you
Long trip, you lost your grip.
We've all been praying for you
You're going down baby baby
You're going down baby baby
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
