Lyrics

[00:11.61] People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
[00:17.73]
[00:22.88] Well they give me all kinds of warnings
[00:24.86]
[00:27.73] to save me from ruin
[00:29.07]
[00:33.76] When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
[00:38.65]
[00:39.45] Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
[00:45.05]
[00:47.88] People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
[00:54.68]
[00:58.89] Well they give me all kinds of advice
[01:00.99]
[01:03.90] designed to enlighten me
[01:05.63]
[01:10.05] When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
[01:14.68]
[01:15.76] Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
[01:21.46]
[01:24.19] I'm just sitting here make the wheels go round and round
[01:30.02]
[01:30.47] I really love to watch them roll
[01:32.92]
[01:35.58] No longer riding on the merry-go-round
[01:40.12]
[01:41.86] I just had to let it go
[01:43.58]
[01:52.20] Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
[01:58.81]
[02:02.53] Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
[02:09.31]
[02:13.62] Well they shake their heads
[02:15.05] and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
[02:18.06]
[02:19.74] I tell them there's no hurry
[02:21.31] I'm just sitting here doing time
[02:25.72]
[02:28.35] I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
[02:33.06]
[02:34.26] I really love to watch them roll
[02:36.59]
[02:39.09] No longer riding on the merry-go-round
[02:43.82]
[02:45.14] I just had to let it go
[02:47.44]
[02:53.92] I just had to let it go
[02:57.30]
