Cover art for Spiraling Shape lyrics by They Might Be Giants

i like this song alot, but in trying to figure it out i can't get past that it might just be about one of those old toys like a hypno ring, think about it. the sprialing shape, but also those things never worked and they were a fraud, but still people always wanted to see them and to see if they worked

and the "don't spend the rest of your life wondering" means that you should give it a try because what have you got to loose.

i think i could have worded that better, but regardless love this song.
