Voices

The world is spinning so much faster Fling me from pole to pole A car pulls up and drags me downtown To try to make up diamonds from some coal Disco Balls and Revolving Doors And then I see you though my eyes are growing round I start to tell you I'm on the fast track and I don't need you here to slow me down (Chorus) Then I hear the voices in my head Telling me to stay right here and stand The choir of guardian angels asking me to take a deeper breath Telling me to slow down and live before I'm gone and dead I see you from marry-go-round now Lifts me like a flying saucer ride Down on the ground you're like a tiny ant I see you holding blood from where I glide (Chorus) And then I hear the voices in my head Telling me to go back down instead The choir of guardian angels asking me to take a deeper breath Telling me to slow down and live before I'm gone and dead screaming tongues but they're twisting all the words reinterpreting my every little word I'm trying to get by with all this comotion making me uneasy in my skin I swing back now to pick you up where I left you back in that field And we pull from home all aligned and now I know the voices are for real And then I hear the voices in my head Thanking me for doing what they said The choir of guardian angels asking me to take a deeper breath Telling me to slow down and live before I'm gone and dead --- Voices - Mike Gordon
