CHORUS
Spinning on the time loop
They start to phase you in
When the man comes and turns the wheel
Heā??ll phase you out again
Spinning on the time loop
They start to phase you in
When the man comes and turns the wheel
Heā??ll phase you back again
VERSE 1
Yesterday was your point of disappearing
Yesterday was yesterday and thatā??s no doubt
Yesterday was your point of disappearing
And disappearing is the only way out
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
When the time came to take your place
Was it really worth the taking?
When the time came to change your hand
Was it worth the re-arranging?
When your need poked you full of holes
Was it really worth the habit?
Is it worth all these illusions
When people treat you like they own you?
REPEAT CHORUS
