Spin the Black Circle Lyrics

See this needle...a see my hand...
Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently...
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't turn you away...

Spin, spin...spin the black circle
Spin, spin...spin the black, spin the...

    Although Spin The Black Circle may sound like some type of occult ritual it's not. This one is a rather easy interpretation. It's about playing vinyl records. "See this needle, see my hand, drop drop dropping down. Oh so gently." Right off the bat you are putting the needle on the record and letting that black circle spin." You're so warm. OH ritual. As I lay down your crooked arm." Describing that warm fuzzy feeling you get each time you play a vinyl record. It's rather really organic, and again he's laying down that crooked arm on to that Black Circle. Viva La Vinyl...
