Rock And Whirl

Oh baby it's late in the century
I'm here for visions, but i just can't see
So many on the joystick and crying out in pain
We're crossing all the barriers
And flying with no brains
The saints now have no haloes
I can't recognize their walk
They're talking now in street jive
And gods they just won't talk
The children can't make sentances
Fractured pictures feelings numb
They wanna suck their present dry
Cause the future will never come

We all fight in our own little secret wars
Don't care about equality just give me more and more
We barely have the strength of will to make it through the day
Just chalk it up against my soul
And i'll refuse to pay
Starlight, starbrite
If i had some now wishes
Well i'd wish them all tonight
Rattle all those swords and guns
What bullshit slogan will be sung
Rage against the darkness man
But the stars are going out

Rock and whirl
We're dancing a quicksand dance
When the white sky flares
Well you won't stand a chance
So grab a partner for now
Rock and whirl, rock and whirl

Dear diary it's been another day
Kept the spirit burning for now
Kept the blues at bay
Made my lover laugh and cry
For me she did the same
It's all in how you say it
Not in what you say

Oh, fight the things that shatter
Find something to believe in
Big or small, it doesn't matter
Follow the sound of your different drum
The beat is always from your heart
And it's always glad you've come
