tailspin

The Divine Comedy

Huge tailspinââ?¬â?is the world gonna win?
Is the nation gonna open up and let us in?
Hard luck! Your policies suckââ?¬â?
Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your skin

This timeââ?¬â?it's hard to define
So watch the leaves turn brown for the last time
Too late! You've sealed our fateââ?¬â?
No returns, no emergency debate... but wait!

I hate unhappy endingsââ?¬â?and there doesn't have to be one!


Tailspinââ?¬â?your hair's getting thin
****
****
Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your council estates

Geeââ?¬â?life is cheap!
The forests pine and the willows weep
Checkmate! You've sealed our fateââ?¬â?
The world is way past its sell-by date

Tailspinââ?¬â?is the world gonna win?
Tailspin's on the outside looking in
Tailspin, I repent my sins
But when I get to heaven will you let me in?
Tailspin, save our kin, save our skin...

The message we are sending is a very real one
The world we are defending could be a very green one
We hate unhappy endingsââ?¬â?and
THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ONE!
