lyrics

Forward momentum; reverse not withstanding, while balancing (barely) on high wire thread.
Don’t drive me to panic, don’t kill off old motions - the family you’re left with is the family you get.

All alone at the bottom, rotation continues.
You look like a wreck (it takes one to know one).

Forward momentum; reverse not demanding, while balancing (barely) on tottering links.
Don’t cry me a river. Don’t stop when I’m dead – the family you make is the family you get.

All alone at the bottom, rotation continues.
If you aim for the desert, you end up inside of a box.
