Keep Me Turning

River's getting higher, no wood for the fire They saw the messiah But I guess I missed him again That brings my score to a hundred and ten The water's getting closer Better ring up the grocer, stack up the potatoes Oh, Jack are you ever coming back Will your operatic soul turn black? Keep me turning, oh keep me Keep me burning, for your sun Keep me turning Don't you leave me till the very last Keep me turning, I'm hanging on Stop me yearning, I've had enough Keep me turning While I hand in my backstage pa*s Children are smiling Parents are wining, bow tie tying For the big day ahead real soon Is there really gonna be no room I've got a ticket, just gotta get past the picket They say that the trick is to walk in backwards Like your walking out I guess the lord's wearing gla*ses now Keep me turning, oh keep me on Keep me burning, for your sun Keep me turning Don't you leave me till the very last Keep me turning, I'm hanging on Stop me yearning, I've had enough Keep me turning While I hand in my backstage pa*s Keep me turning, oh keep me on Keep me burning, for your sun Keep me turning Don't you leave me till the very last Keep me turning, I'm hanging on Stop me yearning, I've had enough Keep me turning While I hand in my backstage pa*s Keep me turning
