lyrics
Spiral
Composed by Allison Crowe
As performed by Allison Crowe and Band
I’m jealous and crazy
Languid and lazy
Take me quickly
Fill me sickly
Naked I take it
Two lips and a paid debt
Returned and recurring
laid and stirring
Spiral quickly
You can’t see me
But I’m dropping fast
See I want it
See I want it
See I want it now
In peace thoughts fasten
buckled and crass, then,
safely saunter
silent wander
A fine degradation
thick sedation
pain dissipates
sacred desecrates
Spiral quickly
You can’t see me
But I’m dropping fast again
See I want it
See I want it
See I want it now
Spiral quickly
You can’t see me
But I’m dropping fast again
See I want it
See I want it
See I want it now
See I want it
See I want it
See I want it now
