I've been up and down and around and 'round and back again |
|
I've been so many places I can't remember where or when |
|
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend |
|
Never really was a friend at all |
|
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less |
|
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time |
|
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then |
|
Found myself right back where I started again |
|
Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime |
|
The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today |
|
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time |
|
For something that I never lost or left behind |
|
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less |
|
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time |
|
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then |
|
Found myself right back where I started again |
|
And now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top |
|
I've learned a lot of things along the way |
|
I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop |
|
When your down nobody gives a damn anyway |
|
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less |
|
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time |
|
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then |
|
Found myself right back where I started again |
