Sadness casts its shadow
Clear across my day.
That's all you need to know -
What more can I say?
You want the dark details,
Every blank filled in.
Here my memory fails;
Can't tell you where I've been.
We keep reinventing the wheel,
Round and round and round we go.
Some do it for their next meal;
Some just to feed their egos.
We keep reinventing the wheel,
Repeating our past mistakes.
What some among us have to steal,
Others just reach out and take.
Caution's blowin' in the wind,
Up there where you threw it.
You asked how it happened,
But you already knew it.
A little politeness is how
You can have the keys.
Speak now
Or forever hold your PLEASE.
We keep reinventing the wheel,
Round and round and round we go.
Some do it for their next meal;
Some just to feed their egos.
We keep reinventing the wheel,
Repeating our past mistakes.
What some among us have to steal,
Others just reach out and take.
It was a level playing scene,
Judging the book by its cover.
Why the devil came you between
My lord and my lover?
Only so much can be made
Of the miracle of your birth.
Once your trump card is played,
It loses its worth.
The devil's in the details,
And he's everywhere else too .
He'll see your grand scheme fail;
Got other plans for you.
You want the dark details,
Every blank filled in.
Here my memory fails;
Can't tell you where I've been.
Sadness casts its shadow
Clear across my day.
That's all you need to know -
What more can I say?
We keep reinventing the wheel,
Round and round and round we go.
Some do it for their next meal;
Some just to feed their egos.
