Ralph McTell - Spiral Staircase lyrics

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 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 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 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 and around.
