What goes up must come down
Spinning plates got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning plates spin

You got no ideas, and you, you got none of your own
Spinning plates, spinning all alone
Talking about your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning plates turn

Did you find a directing sign
On the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real

Inspiration is waiting just for you
Spinning plates is spinning true
Drop all your projects, by the river side
Catch a painted pony
On the spinning plates ride

Inspiration is waiting just for you
Spinning plates is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning plates fly
