Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I got this thing and I've been taking it out on you

Taking it out on you

Poor you

Like a machine that's always breaking down on you

Breaking down on you

So true

[Verse 2]

I spin around, spin around, spin around

Spin around, spin around

And then out of the blue

[Verse 3]

I'm holding the poison down

Holding the poison down

Something to drown you out

Holding the poison down

You know I want what I want

I get what I get

You know what I mean?

I meant what I said

I'm holding the poison down

Holding the poison down

[Verse 4]

I get the feeling there ain't nothing that I can do

Nothing will get me through

So blue

Sometimes I dream, I can dream, I can dream

And then I bleed and I bleed and I bleed

I get the feeling there ain't nothing that I can do

[Verse 5]

I spin around, spin around, spin around

Spin around, spin around

And then out of the blue

[Verse 6]

I'm holding the poison down

Holding the poison down

Something to drown you out

Holding the poison down

You know I want what I want

I get what I get

You know what I mean?

I meant what I said

I'm holding the poison down

Holding the poison down

[Verse 7]

I spin around, spin around, spin around

Spin around, spin around

And then out of the blue

[Verse 8]

I'm holding the poison down

Holding the poison down

Something to drown you out

Holding the poison down

You know I want what I want

I get what I get

You know what I mean?

I meant what I said

I'm holding the poison down

Holding the poison down
