Spiraling Shape (Dial-A-Song)
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1997

Down, down, down you go No way to stop As I fall, hear me call No, no, no Listen to this warning and Consider these Simple words of advice Stop, stop, stop

Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiraling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you've got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange

The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing)

And nobody knows what it's really like But everyone says it's great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes

This may lead to excellence Or serious injury Only one way to know Go, go, go Go ahead, wreck your life That might be good Who can say what's wrong or right? Nobody can

Put out your hands and you fall through the window And clawing at nothing you drop through the void Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape

The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing)

And now that you've tried it, you're back to report That the spiraling shape was a fraud and a fake You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it There won't be a refund, you'll never go back

The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing)

And nobody knows what it's really like But everyone says it's great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes (Spiral in their eyes)

Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiraling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange

The spiraling shape will make you go insane (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (Everyone wants to see that thing)

Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing)

Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that groovy thing) Don't spend the rest of your life wondering (Everyone wants to see that thing)
