River's getting higher
|
No wood for the fire
|
They saw the messiah
|
But I guess I missed him again
|
That brings my score to a hundred and ten
|
|
The water's getting closer
|
Better ring up the grocer
|
Stack up the potatoes
|
Oh, Jack are you ever coming back
|
Will your operatic soul turn black?
|
|
Keep me turning, oh keep me
|
Keep me burning, for your sun
|
Keep me turning
|
Don't you leave me till the very last
|
|
Keep me turning, I'm hanging on
|
Stop me yearning, I've had enough
|
Keep me turning
|
While I hand in my backstage pass
|
|
Children are smiling
|
Parents are wining
|
Bow tie tying
|
For the big day ahead real soon
|
Is there really gonna be no room
|
|
I've got a ticket
|
Just gotta get past the picket
|
They say that the trick is to walk in backwards
|
Like your walking out
|
I guess the lord's wearing glasses now
|
|
Keep me turning, Oh keep me on
|
Keep me burning, For your sun
|
Keep me turning
|
Don't you leave me till the very last
|
|
Keep me turning, I'm hanging on
|
Stop me yearning, I've had enough
|
Keep me turning
|
While I hand in my backstage pass
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
Keep me turning, Oh keep me on
|
Keep me burning, For your sun
|
Keep me turning
|
Don't you leave me till the very last
|
|
Keep me turning, I'm hanging on
|
Stop me yearning, I've had enough
|
Keep me turning
|
While I hand in my backstage pass
|
|
Keep me turning...
