I forgot my book
At the fountain stairs
At a chapter on symmetry
Nobody cares
And I had a smoke
While I traced the squares
Put my finger to concrete
Felt the autumn air
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
Sun on my shirt
Sweat on my hands
All falling in retrograde
Cancel all my plans
And I had to look
At the marching band
Skip across the pavement
Nobody's there
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
At the fountain stairs
At a chapter on symmetry
Nobody cares
And I had a smoke
While I traced the squares
Put my finger to concrete
Felt the autumn air
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
Sun on my shirt
Sweat on my hands
All falling in retrograde
Cancel all my plans
And I had to look
At the marching band
Skip across the pavement
Nobody's there
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling

Jesus these are the lyrics from the liner notes:
Take my hand and pray with me
My final days in company. The devil now has come for me, and helicopters circling the scene.
And i pray for rest. Could you pray for us? We know he loves you the best. We know he loves you the best.
The light's inside my cave. I'm tired of my cave.
Oh these drugs they play on me these terrible ways. They don't pay like they used to pay. I used to make it day to day.
No one cares for me. I keep no company. I have minimal needs. And now they are through with me.
Now they are through with me.
