she says you'd given up
your folks told me you should be left alone on a mountain top
knocking the aeroplanes down with stones
do the whirlwind, and carry the hope that stings all night long
don't abandon him
cos he quivers when he hears your song

believe me its safe to see
at least be confused about right and wrong
plan to settle down
over the moon under the sun
do the whirlwind, and shotgun the seat that beats hanging on
to the ones you love
to keep keepin sleepin dreamin on

folks given up under the quivers and lines
you do the whirlwind don't abandon
get a handle of yourself son
