November 1983

Vortex

Round and round you go

Where you’ll stop no-one knows

You took the chance some time ago

And now you’ve been dragged in

No more freedom, no more time

The life you’ve lived no more sane

Now a canoe in the rapids

You’re following a furious course

You’re cut off from all escape

Oh yes!  you’re committed now

You thought you’d get out

Once when the going got tough

But when the going got tough

You found you had stayed

No excuses, no complaints

Not even a trace of regret

How can you mind what you have done

The entrapment is pleasant some times

Friendship binds with cords of love

Oh yes! you’re committed now
