Orion's high in the south-west sky --
you're bound to move on and so am i.
on this world we've had time to burn --
how come nobody ever seems to learn?
see how the starwheel turns.

crystal drift on the whistling wind --
constant change is the space we're in.
you may use a slide rule or a golden crown
but nothing's worth it that you can pin down --
see how the starwheel turns.

don't go playing no shell game with God --
only Satan's going to give you odds.
we're given love and love must be returned --
that's all the bearings that you need to learn.
see how the starwheel turns
