You spin a top and it stops in front of me
Now you think you know my destiny, but
You don’t know me very well
My destiny doesn’t depend on the spin of a top
The color of the top means nothing, but
Some want to attach a hex thinking they
Have some power, but they are foolish.
They are full of fear and could
Drown in these fears, but they don’t stop.
They walk to the dark end of the street
Hoping to get some affirmation for their stupidity,
But no one was there. I could have told you so.
You change and now wear a smile. The smile
Has a shadow and that gives you’re away.
You must have a fever; I could have told you so
I am good to you and for you. I do everything you
Ask and then some. You don’t know what love is
And I’ll go crazy if you don’t change. Let’s meet
Over the rainbow and talk things over. You don’t
Know me and I would like to change that. God
Bless you child. Let’s not go down to the river
Of despair. Neither of us can swim that well.
I don’t like being wet. I want the good times to roll again.
