I woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of you and where you'd gone And let the world spin madly on And everything that I said I'd do Like make the world brand new And take the time for you I just got lost and slept right through the dawn And the world spins madly on I let the day go by I always say goodbye I watch the stars from my windowsill The whole world is moving and I'm standing still I woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed The night is here and the day is gone And the world spins madly on I thought of you and where you'd gone And the world spins madly on And the world spins madly on And the world spins madly on and on and on
