The Jayhawks - Tailspin

Tailspin - The Jayhawks

Well, they stood prepared as you took the chair.
There was no need to satisfy you
I'll be damned though I held your hand
they felt the need to crucify you

You're goin' down baby baby
You're goin' down baby baby

You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head

You're a fragile flower in its finale hour
With no chance to taste the waters.
Judge declared "You'll get 15 yrs,
Join the lonely sons and daughters"

You're going down baby baby
You're going down baby baby

You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head

Smoke and mirrors couldn't hide your tears
Your eyes only betray you
Long trip, you lost your grip.
We've all been praying for you

You're going down baby baby
You're going down baby baby

You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head
You're in a tailspin, running out of your head

Just when I think I've heard every great Jayhawks song there was, another one creeps up and cleans my clock.

[sevensolaris]

"Smoke and mirrors couldn't hide your tears..." What a great line.

Matthew Sweet-guest vocals on this track
Bernie Leadon-guest banjo on this track
No wonder I like it!

[UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Mr. Belben was and remains right: buy this album. Buy multiple copies of it. Give it to all of your friends, and tell them to buy it, too.

Let me also note the brilliance of the guitar break on this song. It's insanely great.

The beginning of the song sort of resembles the intro theme from Cooking With Jack.
