Bm A Down a spiral stairway D G Like a blackout memory Bm A You prop up your work D G Like a figure of straw Bm A D G Keeping your ghosts from the garden Bm A D G But is it red ripe or deadened skin? Bm A D G Spiraling further in Bm A D G Spiraling further in
[Chorus]

Bm A I am a moment in time D G When your eyes start to wander Bm A And your head starts to spin D G From the simplest task Bm A D G Deciding what you will wear Bm A D G Finding faults in a straight line Bm A D G I have to remember to stop Bm A D G Wringing out the same cloth
[Chorus]
