Spiral Fix Lyrics - Novelty - Jawbox

in precious little circles thoughts run races 

dead in the water, black and still 

drowning in downsize none finish first 

no stars get us out of this hold 

slow down, just two are left 

i see your smile shine red in the silence 

it's laughing at me, one of us is next 

is this real life, less end line 

when all is done and said 

a slip-step cracked my skull 

i think, spirals down 

a slip-step cracked my skull 

i think spirals down the brain 

they burned the smiles off the sideways 

made it my fortune to watch it all happen 

be sure we're still going nowhere 

they retch an apology for necessity 

but my blood still swims inside 

they rumble for more but i won't make the next cut 

spiral goes sideways in or out 

ragged heels scrape up the pavement 

read a line off the kick in the breeze
