Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Out on the ledge

The worst temptation

The great summation

Ensues

The razor's edge

Test my patience

Retaliation

Was it worth it at all?

[Verse 2]

Number 9 on a cloud

Seven rings looking down

At the flames and the crowds

Made my ears ring so loud

Sorrow compounds

Watch the news helicopters spin out

[Intro]

Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

Spin out

Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

Spin out

[Verse 3]

Open the fridge

My emancipation

Proclamation

French rosé

I'll make a wish

I'm a kid with cancer

I'm out to pasture

It was spring for a day

[Verse 4]

Twenty-one in a bar, just sixteen with a card

Putting cracks in my heart

Makes it all fall apart

It was doomed from the start

All the house and the strobe lights went dark

[Outro]

I couldn't save you

I can relate to

Nabokov's virtue

Or loves interchangeable parts
