I know you came in here
'Cause you're worried about me
I can tell by your eyes that you came to see
If I'm alright, babe
Well I'm alright, babe
It's just a downturn, but it's a turn all the same
Sometimes it feels like a merry-go-round
I'm standing still, I go up, I come down
All night, babe
In the music and lights, babe
It's a downturn, but it's a turn all the same
The circles I run in are cycles older than time
I refuse to abide an unchanging life
Because running in circles
Beats the hell out of sinking in sand
I simply can't stand and stay where I am
So let the world keep on turning
And set its own speed
At the end of the day, we've got what we need
And that's alright, babe
We're alright, babe
It's a downturn, but it's a turn all the same
