Spiral Staircase (Revisited Version)

Spiral Staircase（Revisited Version） - Ralph McTell

I'm running up a spiral staircase

Drilling a hole in the ground

And the staicase is winning

And my head is spinning

And I don't even dare to look round

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I can't reach the top

I'm running up a spiral staircase

And I'm too scared to stop

And there's nothing anybody can do

To stop the staicase, like a giant corkscrew

From spinning around and around and around

Now in the begining I only saw you

When the staircase hit your vision line

But now that it's moving around so fast

I can see you all of the time

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I can't reach the top

I'm running up a spiral staircase

And I'm too scared to stop

And there's nothing anybody can do

To stop the staicase, like a giant corkscrew

From spinning around and around and around

Now in the begining it was moving so slowly

I never noticed it at first

But now that it's moving round so fast

I think my head is gonna burst

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I can't reach the top

I'm running up a spiral staircase

And I'm too scared to stop

And I believe that I'm gonna shot through

To stop the staicase, like a giant corkscrew,

From spinning around and around and around

Now without a doubt I'm a-wearing out

And I'm really begining to tire

I know the staircase is steel but it just about feels

As though it's gonna catch on fire

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I can't reach the top

I'm running up a spiral staircase

And I'm too scared to stop

And I believe that I'm gonna shot through

To stop the staicase, like a giant corkscrew

From spinning around and around and around

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I'm running up a spiral staircase

I'm running up a spiral staircase

And I'm too scared to stop

And I believe that I'm gonna shot through

To stop the staicase, like a giant corkscrew

From spinning around and around and around
