A tritone song Gian and I used perform live with the Gearhead Freaks.
Catchy little tune with a profound lyrical hook. Note that we never had a middle section for this piece so in this version I wrote one. Simple but effective.

Other versions of this song can be found on the following CDs:
Gearhead Freaks - "Not A Pretty Picture"
John Tabacco - "Hits Duh Bah Tomb Lion"

lyrics

KEEPS ON TURNING

Some are born so proud yet easy to sell their dignity
Some are lost and found
A twist of the fate brings you closer to me
Walk without a sound and you'll see an eternity
Some are sacred, some are naked
Throw the dice and you'll see what I mean

People always come and people always go
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Sometimes it’s a yes and sometimes it’s no
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Yeah

Brother stole a car
Sister lost her virginity
Mother licks her scars
Father splits with the nun from the farm...

People always come and people always go
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Sometimes it’s a yes and sometimes it’s no
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Yeah
Life can move real fast and life can move real slow
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Yeah…

Well I don't understand it and I guess I never will
Throw out your cosmic theories and eat yourself a pizza!

'Cause people always come and people always go
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Sometimes it’s a yes and sometimes it’s no
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Yeah
Life can move real fast and life can move real slow
But the world don't care it just keeps on turning
Yeah…
