The world is spinning so much faster

Fling me from pole to pole

A car pulls up and drags me downtown

To try to make up diamonds from some coal

Disco Balls and Revolving Doors

And then I see you though my eyes are growing round

I start to tell you I'm on the fast track and I don't need you here to slow me down



(Chorus)

Then I hear the voices in my head

Telling me to stay right here and stand

The choir of guardian angels asking me to take a deeper breath

Telling me to slow down and live before I'm gone and dead



I see you from marry-go-round now

lifts me like a flying saucer ride

down on the ground you're like a tiny ant

i see you holding blood from where I glide



(Chorus)

And then I hear the voices in my head

telling me to go back down instead

the choir of guardian angels asking me to take a deeper breath

telling me to slow down and live before i'm gone and dead



screaming tongues but they're twisting all the words reinterpreting my every little word

I'm trying to get by with all this comotion  making me uneasy in my skin

I swing back now to pick you up where i left you back in that field

and we pull from home all aligned and now I know the voices are for real

and then I hear the voices in my head

Thanking me for doing what they said

the choir of guardian angels asking me to take a deeper breath

telling me to slow down and live before I'm gone and dead
