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.
