You're bound to move on and so am I
On this world we've had time to burn --
how come nobody ever seems to learn?
See how the starwheel turns.
Crystal drift on the whistling wind --
Constant change is the space we're in
You may use a slide rule or a golden crown
But nothing's worth it that you can pin down --
See how the starwheel turns.
Don't go playing no shell game with God --
Only Satan's going to give you odds
We're given love and love must be returned --
That's all the bearings that you need to learn
See how the starwheel turns.
Orion's high in the south-west sky -- You're bound to move on and so am I On this world we've had time to burn -- how come nobody ever seems to learn? See how the starwheel turns. Crystal drift on the whistling wind -- Constant change is the space we're in You may use a slide rule or a golden crown But nothing's worth it that you can pin down -- See how the starwheel turns. Don't go playing no shell game with God -- Only Satan's going to give you odds We're given love and love must be returned -- That's all the bearings that you need to learn See how the starwheel turns.
