| Wind it up and let it go
|
| When it gets to the other side, oh no
|
| Now wait a minute can’t you see I’m lost
|
| I try to get it but I may be too far gone
|
| I think about it baby then I’m wrong
|
| I try to beat it but I’m no good on my own
|
| You say you don’t see what you know about me
|
| I got a penchant for the revelry
|
| Now I been the best that I can be
|
| But there ain’t no good plans for me
|
| Just wind it up and let it go
|
| And when it gets to the other side, oh no
|
| We will not care where it lands
|
| When I’m wide awake, let it slide
|
| Everyone says I’m crazy but my, my
|
| I’ll get my sleep when I’m dead
|
| Right now I’m falling over but I’m keeping right
|
| Feeling better than I did this time last night
|
| I stumble out into the city lights
|
| I got a voice in my head that I just can’t bite
|
| People seem uptight, there’s no hope in sight
|
| But if I loosen my head a little then I’ll be all right
|
| But when the morning comes I do it all again because I
|
| Wind it up and let it go
|
| And when it gets to the other side, oh no
|
| We will not care where it lands
|
| When I’m wide awake, let it slide
|
| Everyone says I’m crazy but my, my
|
| I’ll get my sleep when I’m dead
|
| Pull together all the moments I found
|
| Man there’s sure a lot of people in this town
|
| They all do their best to bring me down
|
| But I can’t be stopped now
|
| And the moment’s just floating away
|
| And I stutter
|
| Maybe I’m too old to try and live this way
|
| I should know better
|
| I slow down and I’m falling behind
|
| Break off a piece of this life and I call it mine
|
| But you can’t get back this time
|
| So let’s wind it up and let it go
|
| And when it gets to the other side, oh no
|
| We will not care where it lands
|
| When I’m wide awake, let it slide
|
| Everyone says I’m crazy but my, my
|
| I’ll get my sleep when I’m dead |
