Or Down You Fall

Gil Scott-Heron · Other Songs - Gil Scott-Heron

I sail out on my paper ship

The sea is made of fire

I ride my horse of nuts and bolts

We made to never tire



The world is just a simple circle

I've got to keep on turning, yeah

I've got to keep on turning

'Til I fall



Down to the top of a mountain

Inside a hollow stone

I pretend that I'm an iron man, yeah

Instead of flesh and bone



The world is just a simple circle

And it keep on turning, yeah

And it keep on turning

You've got to



Go away

I can't stand to see your face

Cause you've seen the weakest me

And now you know I'm only human

Instead of all the things I'd like to be



The world is just a simple circle

You've got to keep on turning, yeah

You've got to keep on turning

Or down you fall
