Spiral Staircase Ralph McTell

I'm running up a spiral staircase
Drilling a hole in the ground
And the staircase is winning
And my head is spinning
And I don't even dare to look round

I'm running up a spiral staircase
I can't reach the top
I'm running up a spiral staircase
And I'm too scared to stop
And there's nothing anybody can do
To stop the staircase, like a giant corkscrew
From spinning around and around and around

Now in the beginning I only saw you
When the staircase hit your vision line
But now that it's moving around so fast
I can see you all of the time

I'm running up a spiral staircase
I can't reach the top
I'm running up a spiral staircase
And I'm too scared to stop
And there's nothing anybody can do
To stop the staircase, like a giant corkscrew
From spinning around and around and around
