Lyrics

I sail out on my paper ship The sea is made of fire I ride my horse of nuts and bolts We're made to never tire The world is just a simple circle I've got to keep on turning, yeah I've got to keep on turning 'Til I fall Down to the top of a mountain Inside a hollow stone I pretend that I'm an iron man, yeah Instead of flesh and bone The world is just a simple circle And it keep on turning, yeah And it keeps on turning You've got to Go away I can't stand to see your face 'Cause you've seen the weakest me And now you know I'm only human Instead of all the things I'd like to be The world is just a simple circle You've got to keep on turning, yeah You've got to keep on turning Or down you fall
