Ready or not, here I come
Slippin' and Sliding, hold on tight
My head is spinning on this merry-go-round
Hurry-up and slow down child
Will you pull a little closer?
The cradle is tipping over
Throw your arms around me
Throw your arms around me
cnd wrap me in cotton wool
Old man sticking to what you know
Cause you're better off knowing all too well
I can read between the lines upon your face
In I come and out you go, you get
In the sunlight, shadow be my friend
The sun it sets on angels, and heaven draws its curtains
Throw your arms around me
Throw your arms around me
cnd wrap me in cotton wool
The silence between the tick and the tocking
Beside the clock that turns the table
Hands that point to numbers
cnd hands that clap for freedom
So throw your arms around me
Throw your arms around me
cnd wrap me in cotton wool...
So throw your arms around me
Throw your arms around me
cnd wrap me in cotton wool
Skippin' down, down, down
Skippin' down, down, down the mountainside
