*roundabout* Spin me 'round now in a circle Spin my heart like only girls will feel the world tilt further blurred still 'Til it makes all of my words spill... Drivin' through a roundabout You won't stop the turnin' 'round we're burnin down the here and now The going-nowhere-journey now. Your love is splendid dizziness Our lives become a busy mess, but a willingness to do our best Drives us 'round the craziness. It's not as easy as it seems, But it's more fun than anything sweet ecstacy of bein' free Circumvent life's big machine. Driving in circles roundabout and turn-around Living on miracles dizzy love; won't come back down A pretty girl and a weary boy A petty world full of eerie noise the clever ploys the world employs To keep genuine love destroyed. So drive in circles to no end We'll never lose and never win let's bathe in sin with spirits bent Where you stop, I will begin. The world is flashing by so fast It's there and here and in the past and we just laugh at people passed And spend more of your Daddy's cash. People keep on asking "Why?" Wondering how we survive... driving blind but we don't mind God, it's good to be alive... Driving in circles roundabout and turn-around Living on miracles dizzy love; won't come back down it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown |

 (big hugggsssssss) I understand this painful honesty so much, sweet friend, it hurts me to so many hope for miracles and not take the time to talk and interpret love sincerely heart-to-heart! (sigh) I wish love could be more understandingly taken to heart, sweet friend, this is powerful, we all love you so much!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

People keep on asking "Why?" Wondering how we survive... driving blind but we don't mind God, it's good to be alive... very emotional, and powerful writing. This last line sums it up perfectly for me.... God, it's good to be alive...... TO TRUE!! Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

MS, you know there is a place where happy and sad mix together and the emotion is so powerful, that you can't do anything but sit and let it hold you. That's where you took me last night with this one. And yes, you helped  Thank you. |
