City traffic’s movin’ way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, go
You’re just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
You’re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you’re not moving anywhere
Backward, forward, outward, inward
Bottom to the top
Never a beginning,
There can never be a stop
What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it’s a crying sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin
Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
Take your place on The Great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time.
Win or lose now you must choose now
And if you lose you’re only losing your life.
The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down
You can’t let go and you can’t hold on
You can’t go back and you can’t stand still
If the thunder don’t get you then the lightning will
Chanson d’amour, ra da da da da, je t’adore
Just an old-fashioned love song playin’ on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they’ll never go
If ever I should leave you
It wouldn’t be in Autumn,
Seeing you in Autumn,
I never could go
They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don’t you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways?
Tomorrow’s child is the only child…
We must keep them away, or pretty soon we’ll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday’s tomorrow
But it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice at all
It’s no secret
How strong my love is for you
It’s no secret
When I tell you what I’m gonna do
The push and the throb, the threat of the mob
The crack’s not a secret this time
The mouths and the doors, but I can’t shut anymore
Keep running, cause you’re falling behind
You better run for your life while you can, little girl.
Run, run my last race,
Take my place
Have this number
Of mine.
Ricky, don’t lose that number.
