歌手名 Don McLean

作曲：Don McLean

I feel like a spinning top for a dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

Round and around this world you go

Spinning through lives of the people you know

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turning from day to day

How you gonna keep from turning 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 spinning top for a dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

Round and around this world you go

Spinning through lives of the people you know

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turning from day to day

How you gonna keep from turning your life away

And I feel like I'm a-dipping and a-diving

My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels

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

But my air sole keeps pushing big wheels

My world is a constant confusion

My mind is prepared to attack

My past a persuasive illusion

I'm watching the future it's black

What do you know

You know just what you perceive

What can you show

Nothing of what you believe

And as you grow

Each thread of life that you lead

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 habit's grow

And your conscious feeds

On all that you thought you should be

I never thought this could happen to me-e-e-e-e

I feel like a spinning top for a dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

Round and around this world you go

Spinning through lives of the people you know

We all slow down

How you gonna keep on turning from day to day

How you gonna keep from turning your life away

I feel like a spinning top for a dreidel

The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle

You just slow down

You just slow down

You just slow down
