Intro Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge Verse Chorus Coda

I woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of you And where you’d gone Let the world spin madly on And everything that I’d said I’d do Like make the world brand new And take the time for you Just got lost And stepped right through the dawn And the world spins madly on. The World Spins Madly On

And I let the day go round And I always say good bye I watch the stars from my windowsill The whole world is moving and I’m standing still I woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed The night is here And the day is gone And the world spins madly on Thought of you And where you’d gone And the world spins madly on

Lyric Analysis Basic relationship song Feeling helpless Deep thoughts while lying in bed Nobody else cares about me (the world spins madly on)
