  • Spinnin' around the world at night
    Spin around in black and white
    Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
    Strange time to see the light

    I think I've fallen onto silken thread, my head is spinning
    Suspended in a twilight void that keeps on giving
    The looping dervish in the lodge is lost within the ringing
    Far away I can hear the sound of someone out there singin'
    I'm speeding through the forest, strange echoes of Belarus
    Where presidents pin badges on disconnected youth
    What would you be dreaming of? No horse play, no diving
    Cutting glass with scissors, whilst the great leaders reclining
    In golden hallways where we spin
    The faithful will be silent

    Existing or not?
    At the same time, spinning

    Spinnin' around the world at night (strange times)
    Spin in and out of sight
    Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up (I helped you feel good)
    Strange time to turn it on

    Spinning around the world at night
    Spin around in black and white
    Spinning around until the Sun comes up
    Strange time, to see the light

    Battle war of the worlds, surgical glove world, bleach thirsty world
    I'm twitching in the grimy heat, I think I might be spinning
    Here we go on degrading, no horse play, no diving
    Cuttin' glass with scissors, whilst the great leaders

    Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
    Strange time to turn it on

    Spinnin' around the world at night
    Spin around in black and white
    Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
    Strange time to see the light

    Strange time (strange time) to be alive
    Strange time (strange time) to be alive Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Remi Kabaka, Robert Smith
