so the plan was too good to waste;
i'll just go near and i'll just walk by
i won't take and i won't taste
i'll only watch, no i ain't gonna die

well, only this time and only this much
after that another and yet one more
it seemed like i was in control and i got the guts
but now what's happening, what am i heading for'

i'm in a whirlwind, whirlwind
round and round and round i swing
falling into whirlwind, whirlwind
deeper and deeper and deeper i spin

what seemed to be innocent is tightening the rope
now the slave becomes master and the master is a slave
yeah the slave leads the dance 'cos the master is a dope
the whirls are speeding up and i ain't feeling so brave

i'm in a whirlwind, whirlwind
round and round and round i swing
falling into whirlwind, whirlwind
deeper and deeper and deeper i spin

so the life is too good to waste
i don't wanna fear and i don't wanna cry
i ain't gonna fake so i gotta haste
i wanna get up 'cos i don't wanna die
