Perpetual Motion

Do you know
What makes it go
Round and round and around
Never quite,
slowing down or speeding up

Do you feel
his breaking out
Of his word, of his vows and his oath
not a care,
in the world who he hurts.

Do you care
How she stares.
At the wall and the floor and the door
Wondering why,
oh why, am I here

Do you hear
my strange song
About the man and the girl and the boys
who walked away,
before they knew, who I was

Do you know
What makes it go
Round and round and around
Never quite slowing down or speeding up
