Cover art for Expo '86 lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

Anyone else ever associate this with the Beatle's "Helter Skelter?"

"when I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide" - an ex of mine posted this as his status when our relationship seemed like it was going nowhere, repeating the same problems.

and then I wanted to post Deathcab's sadder version of those same lyrics.

Sometimes I think this cycle never ends We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse
