Devil Makes Three, The - Spinning Like A Top Lyrics

Just saw them the 2nd time live in jim thorpe pa and boy fuckin howdy was this song awesome. It was just as exciting if not more the 2nd go around. Love these guys.

Pillbilly music - It's like Elmore Leonard and the cast of Justified formed a band!

Spinning like a top and running like a villain

Amazeing energy

HERES TO NOT

*TANG TANG*

GETTING CAUGHT

Love the song, but clearly a rip off (tribute) to Hank Williams - Howlin' at the Moon

Anyone know the chords for this?

Very good music.... hell yes

Another Devil makes three song with heavy handed meth references. Drinking, drugs, political/spiritual oppression, and the end of days; name a Devil Makes Three song about something else.

Again, though... I'm pretty confident. I wouldn't say that I "see myself" in this song, or in my understanding of the unique culture that exists amongst the community of meth users, but lets say, for the sake of credibility, mystique, and let's not forget credibility, I'm... intimately acquainted.

"Spinning like a top" is a meth reference... just one of several drugs referenced by the song. Should it be a surprise to anyone, with cannabis, prescription pills, and mushrooms all being less cryptically referenced in this very song, that meth might be hiding away in the lyrics as well?

I dont understand how one who hasn't had an extensive experience with a particular culture might reasonably feel (or perhaps even think) that there might be symbolism which is obvious in its meaning only to those from amongst or amidst that cult, and concealed from outsiders.

It's funny how with this band only, I find myself defending my interpretation of their lyrics so very often!! If you go to "for worse or better" and peruse the comments, you'll see a similar conversation I had there months ago. I think i maybe made a couple of points remarkably similar to ones you made in this thread.

Jordan OBrien Also, many non meth users will say spun out or strung out to refer to being on any substance way too much for too long

Jordan OBrien I got family in friends in a small hick town in Indiana where they love this kinda music, but unfortunately meth is very common along with anything anyone can get.

So I wouldn't at all be surprised to see meth references in a DM3 song, but I just wouldn't consider them to be really frequent or obvious, especially when they outright mention pills and shrooms and other drugs.

Jordan OBrien And I don't think the references are like some secret thing, it's just most people who don't use substances have very little knowledge of them, so they hear spinnin like a top and don't even think of meth. I'm familiar with the phrases spun out and have family whose been to jail for use and manufacture, but I didn't think of meth at all when I heard this song. But it makes sense now that you pointed it out

This discussion is a nice departure from typical YT weirdness. Btw, there is a ratcheting noise as percussion throughout the track...ccrrrrankkkk, mayhaps?

5 stars

It's a good one for sure. Love this song.

18 years old, head full of psilocybin and howling at the moon all night

Can't have psilocybin in your head : Psilocybin is turned into psilocin in your digestive system.
But still, did you break through thanks to the heroic dose?

I play this song at least 5 times a day if not more

Acidic!

the group being from Santa Cruz CA, I had a very similar experience and so have many others...

my childhood right here who didn't smoke n have fun with the ladies

Soooo many Hank Williams influences.
Especially the "Howlin' at the Moon" part.
Fantastic song!!!

done my fare share of howlin at moons

love these guys

love it!!!!:)

Changed my life

I like this song!

Just so everyone knows, this is magical anti-cop music. If you got this playing, you will get away with anything and everything. I've been driving d runk in an illegal as fuck truck for a long time now and done real stupid shit with cops literally right across the street, plus there was taco bell involved. Most DM3 has the magic, but this song is the best.

It sure does seem that way.

I'm not gonna put this to the test, but thanks for the info.

Good stuff

next tuesday..!!!

too bad they sold their souls to the illuminati 

do tell.

The Illuminati don't pay for souls.

yer dumb

ok dumbass what is that supposed to mean...screw these hit and run comments...what do you mean by that?

So.. this is the first tune I've listened to off their new "masterpiece" I'm sure. After first spin, the rest of the tunes have to be a let down. With Pete Bernhard though, I already know I'm wrong. AWESOME! 

I just saw them for the fourth year in a row for their New Year's Eve show last night at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz... This was the best one yet!!!

Stuck in my head for days! Love it

Reminds me of my own life so much its not funny love these guys

This might just be my favorite of all DM3 history....

Samsa Lila I just saw them last night at Red Rocks and 4 years later it's still a fuckin banger. Everyone was singing along and dancing, best concert I've ever been to. They played this song and every other one so well, even better than the album versions
