There’s not enough room in the word To describe the distance I’d travel How many steps from your bed Before all these knots in my shoulders unravel You can buy affection for gold You can sell ideas for pounds and pence There’s much that’s certain in this world Love’s not obliged to make much sense That’s what makes us spin Where the world is thin Down marble and sandstone halls Into the room where you’re somehow still living The likeness creates it’s own light A slice of your spirit that won’t give up giving Some of us strive to achieve Something that lives once we’ve moved on Here’s this beautiful death mask Your signature and a crown of thorns That’s what makes us spin Where the world is thin That’s what makes us spin Where the world is thin Engraved in copper, exposed in the dark room Painted on canvas or cast in bronze Caught forever in frames per second Perched on the head like the snare of a song That’s what makes us spin Where the world is thin That’s what makes us spin Where the world is thin

Lyrics:

There’s not enough room in the word
To describe the distance I’d travel
How many steps from your bed
Before all these knots in my shoulders unravel

You can buy affection for gold
You can sell ideas for pounds and pence
There’s much that’s certain in this world
Love’s not obliged to make much sense

That’s what makes us spin
Where the world is thin

Down marble and sandstone halls
Into the room where you’re somehow still living
The likeness creates it’s own light
A slice of your spirit that won’t give up giving

Some of us strive to achieve
Something that lives once we’ve moved on
Here’s this beautiful death mask
Your signature and a crown of thorns

That’s what makes us spin
Where the world is thin
That’s what makes us spin
Where the world is thin

Engraved in copper, exposed in the dark room
Painted on canvas or cast in bronze
Caught forever in frames per second
Perched on the head like the snare of a song

That’s what makes us spin
Where the world is thin
That’s what makes us spin
Where the world is thin
