Album: Here To Stay (1999)

Whirlwind


[Lyrics by Manu Lehtinen]

So the plan was too good to waste;
I’ll just go near and I’ll just walk by
I won’t take and I won’t taste
I’ll only watch, no I ain’t gonna die

Well, only this time and only this much
After that another and yet one more
It seemed like I was in control and I got the guts
But now what’s happening, what am I heading for?

I’m in a whirlwind, whirlwind
Round and round and round I swing
Falling into whirlwind, whirlwind
Deeper and deeper and deeper I spin

What seemed to be innocent is tightening the rope
Now the slave becomes master and the master is a slave
Yeah the slave leads the dance ‘cos the master is a dope
The whirls are speeding up and I ain’t feeling so brave

I’m in a whirlwind, whirlwind
Round and round and round I swing
Falling into whirlwind, whirlwind
Deeper and deeper and deeper I spin

So the life is too good to waste
I don’t wanna fear and I don’t wanna cry
I ain’t gonna fake so I gotta haste
I wanna get up ‘cos I don’t wanna die
