Whirlpool Lyrics by My Dad Is Dead

The Taller You Are, the Shorter You Get

1989

She's got fists the size of the state of New York
She’s hammering away
She's got words that are bigger than your life and mine
She's chattering away
She is the reason I’m all strung out
Never satisfied until the blood flows
She is the reason I'm all poured out
And her whirlpool swallows me down
She is the reason I'm all strung out
Never satisfied until the blood flows
She is the reason I'm all poured out
And her whirlpool swallows me down
She's got eyes as bright as the rising sun
She's staring your way
She's got the power to light up three cities and you
You're chasing it away
She is the reason I’m all strung out
Never satisfied until the blood flows
She is the reason I’m all poured out
And her whirlpool swallows me down
She is the reason I'm all strung out
Never satisfied until the blood flows
She is the reason I’m all poured out
And her whirlpool swallows me down
I'm caught up in your whirlpool
And we're spinning round and round
I'm caught up in your whirlpool
And we’re spinning round and round
I'm caught up in your whirlpool
And we're spinning round and round
It's dragging us down
