Wind It Up

Wind it up and let it go
When it gets to the other side, oh no
Now wait a minute cant you see Im lost
I try to get it but I may be too far gone
I think about it baby then Im wrong
I try to beat it but Im no good on my own
You say you dont see what you know about me
I got a penchant for the revelry
Now I been the best that I can be
But there aint 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 Im wide awake, let it slide
Everyone says Im crazy but my, my
Ill get my sleep when Im dead
Right now Im falling over but Im 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 cant bite
People seem uptight, theres no hope in sight
But if I loosen my head a little then Ill 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 Im wide awake, let it slide
Everyone says Im crazy but my, my
Ill get my sleep when Im dead
Pull together all the moments I found
Man theres sure a lot of people in this town
They all do their best to bring me down
But I cant be stopped now
And the moments just floating away
And I stutter
Maybe Im too old to try and live this way
I should know better
I slow down and Im falling behind
Break off a piece of this life and I call it mine
But you cant get back this time
So lets 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 Im wide awake, let it slide
Everyone says Im crazy but my, my
Ill get my sleep when Im dead
