Wind It Up

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
