Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Omniscient with the god's eye view
Forty eigth floor of the zoo
Where the cages are rusted and crude, no trust in the glue
Devious phases that shift like
Sands of the hourglass slip like
Power grabs
Intangibly drift from the grip and leaving
Little but a trace on the fingertips, ha
Crisp gibberish, jostle for position as the
Bream and the fisherman debate the intermission come on
See double see double, strides
With a cardboard figure on his arm by his side, yo
All rubble, all rubble, fireflies
Swirl holding bowls of that granola and machetes steady
Rock. Feather cogs steady the block and
That crack still creeps on the face of the clock
But in the beaming of the streetlight, the hermit crab
Emerges with a new found sense of what it feel like in real life
[Chorus]
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Hands of the clock and the planets alike
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Spin through the never ending cycles of life
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Hands of the clock and the planets alike, yeah
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Darkness cedes to the light
With the god's eye view
Forty eigth floor of the zoo
[Verse 2]
Lizard sheds skin as the whistling wind descends
Overhead clouds sculpt figures that linger in
Irregular increments, dip in the fingertips
Smooth cotton cadence paint pictures of principles
Cyclical, deeply metaphysical
Dealing with invisible feeling and the visceral
Shearing of the wool, both back and the wicked soul
Clearing out a path with a classic pick and roll, kick it slow
Soap bubble, soap bubble, how your eyes glow
Reflect your surroundings, oh, bountiful maestro
No trouble, no trouble, throw kite, flow
Fluctuate, Oscillate, vibrate, tight rope
By Jove
Fire comes and goes as it cleanses
Bespectacled speckled hens roast under lenses
As the next batch of eggs hatch and legs scratch
The hermit crab enrolls in a barbed-wire deathmatch
[Chorus]
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Hands of the clock and the planets alike
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Spin through the never ending cycles of life
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Hands of the clock and the planets alike
Everything goes ‘round and ‘round
Darkness cedes to the light
With the god's eye view
Forty eigth floor of the zoo
