Born to run
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's burning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Rolling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps
Against the Grain
From the Album:
* Grab it for a second
Once I dreamed I was falling
Like a feather from a tree
The welcoming committee cheered
Must have been a sight to see
Right there in the middle
Of a sweaty night in Rome
Someone showed a million feathers
How to be a bird on their own
Though we never got to flyin'
I was woken by the phone
I can hear it calling
Get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
It's a one way goin' against the grain
Once I thought I was flyin'
Had a taste of the witches seed
Got me so excited
Couldn't get back on my feet
Then without a warning
Soft whisper in my ear
If you feel like playin' honey
Let's go get out of here
But we never got to playin'
'Cause I passed out
Out of of fear
I can hear it calling
Get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
It's a one way goin' against the grain
It's a one way goin' against the grain
It's a one way goin' against the grain
It's a one way goin' against the grain
