Free as a driving wheel

Circling around your iron will

See only what you feel

Keeps you turning when you're standing still

You tried to run from trouble when it comes

You followed the drum keeping time with everyone High as the light of day

You're falling down across your lost highway

Pain - does it hurt this way?

To come so far to find they've closed the gates?

You've lost your tongue when you fall from the pendulum

Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone Everyone, if they drown from the undertow

Need to find someone to show me how to play it slow

And just let it go Your eyes get stung by the rays of the sinking sun

You follow the drum keeping time with everyone

Going beat beat beat, it's beating me down

Beat beat beat beat, it's beating me down

Day after day, it's turning around

'Til all my days are drowning out
