Spinning

She's a mystery though I know her every name
She's the one that I can't see though I see her every day
She's got me running blind she's the thief s he's time
Empties my pockets every day
And I can't go on dreaming of life
Stuck on the outside baby
I can't go on
Spinning the wheel
I can't believe it happened I lead her all along
I would claim religion then I'd play her like a song
She's a monument of my ambivalence I needed to be strong
And I can't on not any more life got so serious baby
I can't go on
Spinning the wheel
She's the air I'm breathing she's the breath inside of me
Time used to be a friend now time's a bitter enemy
There used to be a hero a child could look into those eyes
Now if you don't know just what you wanna be
Baby you'll be left behind
I can't go on not any more life got so serious baby
I can't go on
Spinning the wheel
It's no secret I'm obsessed with time
Without a grip on the past your future's blind
Show me a person without sense of history
I'll show you a person with no ears or eyes
She's the life I'm breathing she's the breath inside of me
Time used to be a friend now times a bitter enemy
So many choices about what you wanna be
Gotta make 'em now baby or you'll be left behind
