Lyrics[edit | edit source]

[Billy: ...and this is dedicated to Ron, as many of our songs are!
Ron: Figures
Billy: Ready? What are you doing?
Ron: I kind of figured that out last night i was...
Billy: It's got nothing to do with you
Dale: Billy, i'm playing guitar on this song
Billy: Dale thinks he's Jimmy Page]

i don't think i saw the train oncoming
just let me lay it back on your fate
whatever came
whatever came
spinning like a top

let someone play the selfish game
you play cold and i'll play hot
like it or not
you are spinning like a top

[Billy: Dale]

rub the status with my big gun
and so far you play just mine
i wish i was
spinning like a top

shake your magic broom
let it burn by your rock
i'm spinning like a top
spinning like a top
spinning like a top
like a
spinning like a top
spinning like a top
spinning like a top
spinning like a top
