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.
