Headstrong thrown headlong,
Heart over head over heels 
In the whirlpool 

The routine that held us
On our safe and straight course 
Slips like a drunk fool 

But we go gladly with smiles like the madman 
Who lurk in the whirlpool
Whirlpool, it takes the best of us 

Night follows night here 
Daylight just hurts eyes 
And gets in our way 

There's a moment of anger 
A moment in danger but now less occasional
Faster and faster pulling us under 
The drag of the whirlpool
