Spinning Yarn Lyrics

Spinning yarn for sport

Why tell a shark you're bleeding

If you're thinking of leaving

There are no sweet spots

Rise up in a shaft of light

Just give me half the night

And I'll list my reasons

I got myself

Spun up again

Speak of truth

If this is my redemption

Don't be obtuse

Awe shucks

Shawshank

Got the wrong end of a raw deal

But it's all thanks

We can hit the mall

Shooting all blanks

That's credit card debt for you small minds

I'm in the house all alone

With the drawn blinds

Habitual line stepper

Waiting long lines

I probably met you at the wrong time

Eyes swollen

Could never see the wrong signs

Spinning yarn for sport

Why tell a shark you're bleeding

If you're thinking of leaving

There are no sweet spots

Rise up in a shaft of light

Just give me half the night

And I'll list my reasons

And you

I know something else about you

And you

You are deliciously alone

Habitual line stepper

Waiting long lines

I wish I could say it's a screen memory

But the pain never leaves

I'd love to see myself

Swimming against the tide

Pushing against the light

I'd love to see myself

With a simple soul

Full of bad material

Spinning yarn for sport

Why tell a shark you're bleeding

If you're thinking of leaving

There are no sweet spots

Rise up in a shaft of light

Just give me half the night

And I'll list my reasons
