I think that I've been been blown off course
Somehow drifted beneath strange skies
None of my maps or charts can help me here
I'm not even sure I can trust my eyes
The compass needle is spinning
The compass needle spins
Spins around
I took a wrong turn in the night
Now the world has turned upside down
Above is below and left is right
And I don't know how to turn it back around
The compass needle is spinning
The compass needle spins
The compass needle is spinning
The compass needle spins
Spins around
And around
And around
And around
Maybe I've slipped some chains
Maybe I've ducked a noose
Evaded some cruel pursuit
Maybe my fortune's changed
Finally run out of bad luck
Been kicked loose from an awful rut
Maybe not...
I was clearly caught off guard
Now I can't see the right road for all the trees
Even my instincts have failed me... hard
Don't know where I am or where I should be
The compass needle is spinning
The compass needle spins
Around
