Or Down You Fall Lyrics - Singles - Gil Scott-heron

I sail out on my paper ship 

The sea is made of fire 

I ride my horse of nuts and bolts 

We made to never tire 

The world is just a simple circle 

I've got to keep on turning, yeah 

I've got to keep on turning 

'Til I fall 

Down to the top of a mountain 

Inside a hollow stone 

I pretend that I'm an iron man, yeah 

Instead of flesh and bone 

The world is just a simple circle 

And it keep on turning, yeah 

And it keep on turning 

You've got to 

Go away 

I can't stand to see your face 

Cause you've seen the weakest me 

And now you know I'm only human 

Instead of all the things I'd like to be 

The world is just a simple circle 

You've got to keep on turning, yeah 

You've got to keep on turning 

Or down you fall
