Spinning Like a Top Songtext
von The Devil Makes Three

When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover
As Irish as the day was long
I thought she′d give it to me maybe
Now she's married with a baby
I′ve been dodging bullets all along

Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep
I would cut catnip into the weed
Nobody was the wiser but they could have been higher
And it meant more money for me

Here's to not getting caught
Well doctor it's only a graze
Spinning like a top, running like a villain
And the years are going by like days
Years are going by like days, days
Years are going by like days

School bus, I got on it, I was nearly catatonic
I couldn′t speak a goddamn word
Homeroom class, forge a hall pass
And we would get higher than the birds


My foolish nature, the chase for the paper
I would deal in the broad daylight
18 years old, head full of psilocybin
And howling at the moon all night

Here′s to not getting caught
Well doctor it's only a graze
Spinning like a top, running like a villain
And the years are going by like days
Years are going by like days, days
Years are going by like days

Small town shadows, clean out of sight
Nothing to fear but the coming of that morning light
Ducking and dodging and diving for that rent
If it couldn′t be broken, it could be bent

Washing dishes, stealing kisses
Making my deals on the side
She said, "Are you ready honey?
'Cause we got gas money
And we′re going on a long, long ride"

Lying like a rug, prescription drugs
Old guitars, new girlfriends
Everybody shunned me
I just thought that it was funny and I'd do it all over again


Here′s to never getting caught
Well doctor it's only a graze
Spinning like a top, running like a villain
And the years are going by like days
Spinning like a top, running like a villain
And the years are going by like days
Years are going by like days, days
Years are going by like days
