“I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel
The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle
You just slow down”

Dreidel
Song lyrics, Don McLean (1972)
Context: I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel
The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle
You just slow down
Round and around this world you go
Spinning through the lives of the people you know
We all slow down.
