Round and Round

lyrics

Round and Round

i'm watching the waves
pushing the faders
but i know i'm gonna have to go get
some lousy job
sooner than later
and it's driving me mad
i'm funeral sad
reality's got teeth like an alligator

they say life has its ups and downs
but mine's been more like round and round
round and round

we were putting it away
back in Budapest
it was glass after glass after glass
of that East European booze
as i was falling in love with the waitress
a fist smashed through the door
by the time it knocked me back to Amsterdam
there was nothing left to lose

they say life has its ups and downs
but mine's been more like round and round and round
round and round

ah, it's killing me softly
i got too many songs
and everything seems to be taking
taking so goddamn long
ain't got the time, ain't got the time
like i did, like i did in my youth
i'm feeling the crunch
that ol’ darkness at the edge of town
i tell you the truth
i tell you the truth

well it might've been Brooklyn
might've been Boston
or maybe it was way back in Birmingham
where things went wrong
at least you can't accuse me
of being an armchair traveller
i'll be sitting here on this barstool all night long

they say life has its ups and downs
but mine's been more like round and round and round and round
round and round
just keeps goin' arond
goin' around and around and around...
round and round
just goin' around and round
round and round and round
