Dreidle Lyrics - Singles - Don Mclean

I feel like a spinnin' top or a dreidel 

The spinnin' don't stop when you leave the cradle 

You just slow down 

'Round and around this world you go 

Spinnin' through the lives of the people you know 

We all slow down 

How you gonna keep on turnin' from day to day? 

How you gonna keep from turnin' your life away? 

No days you can borrow, no time you can buy 

No trust in tomorrow, it's a lie, oh 

I feel like a spinnin' top or a dreidel 

The spinnin' don't stop when you leave the cradle 

You just slow down 

'Round and around this world you go 

Spinnin' through the lives of the people you know 

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turnin' from day to day? Oh 

How you gonna keep from turnin' your life away? 

And I feel like I'm a-dippin' and a-divin' 

My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels 

I'm lost in this star car I'm a-drivin' 

But my air soul keeps pushin' big wheels 

My world is a constant confusion 

My mind is prepared to attack 

My past, a persuasive illusion 

I'm watchin' the future, it's black 

What do you know? You know just what you perceive 

What can you show? Nothin' of what you believe 

And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave 

Will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs 

As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds 

And you wound yourself and your loved one bleeds 

And your habits grow and your conscience feeds 

On all that you thought you should be 

I never thought this could happen to me
