Spinning Beast from (S)words by Bob Gaulke

Spinning beast (D-ish)

Man tries to ride the spinning beast
Grabbing deep into seams
Cutting through layers of skin
To the screams of industry

Beast spins faster than man moves
Bleeding ink covering words
Spins him till he’s dumb and mute
Tangled in the beast’s fur 

Raise ‘em to a fever pitch
Drop ‘em below the ice again
Skirting around something big
Diving under the moment 

Using energy digging deep
No time for reflection; less for breath
Gaining traction he can’t quit
Thousand miles per round this planet

Reaching to get a grip 
Handle on something quick
Alive only to discover
Killing contradictions

Verse: C | D

Chorus: Em7 | Bm7 | DM7 | A7
