Lyrics

[Intro: Robert]
Spinning around the world at knight
Spin around in black and white
Spinning around till the sun comes up
Strange time to see the light

[2-D]
I think I've fallin' onto silken thread
My head is spinning (spinning)
Suspended in a twilight web- that keeps on giving
The looping dervish in the lodge is lost within the ringing
Far away I can hear the sound of someone out there singing
(laughing)(?)
I'm speeding through the forest
Strange echoes of Belarus
Where presidents pin badges on disconnected youth
What could you be dreaming of
No horseplay, no diving
Cutting glass with scissors
Whilst great leader's reclining
In golden hallways where we spin
The fateful will be silent

Existing or not?
At the same time, spinning

[Robert & (2-D)]
Spinnin' around the world at night (Strange timez)
Spin in and out of sight
Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up (I helped you feel good)
Strange time to turn it on

[Robert]
Spinning around the world at night
Spin around in black and white
Spinning around until the Sun comes up
Strange time to see the light

[2-D]
Battle war of the worlds, surgical glove world, bleach thirsty world
I'm twitching in the grimy heat, I think I might be spinning
Here we go on degrading
No horseplay, no diving
Cuttin' glass with scissors, whilst the great leaders-

[Robert]
Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
Strange time to turn it on

Spinnin' around the world at night
Spin around in black and white
Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
Strange time to see the light

[Outro: Robert& (2-D)]
Strange time (strange time) to be alive
Strange time (strange time) to be alive
