The build-up lasted for days    Lasted for weeks    Lasted too long       Our hero withdrew    When there was two    He could not choose one   So there was none      Worn into the vaguely announced   Worn into the vaguely announced      The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley    Fading, oh so quiet, but constant till it passed    Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket    To remind you where to stop    And when to get off      The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley    Fading, oh so quiet, but constant till it passed    Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket    To remind you where to stop    And when to get off      The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley    Fading, oh so quiet, but constant till it passed    Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket    To remind you where to stop    And when to get off   When to get off   When to get off   When to get off
