Round and round this broken rat race Im moving and stopping, Im window shopping For love, for fame, for anything that will take me
When Im done taking up space Im coming home late to a dirty place Half awake, the broom, the rake, take the kid out of me
Just say the word Just say the word and Ill give it up The word and Ill hang it up
What do I know? What do I hold That will not fade away All things fade away Where will I be? The crop and the wheat Feast and fade away All things fade away
Putting on a business coat For the tear in the jeans, the hole in the boat To make the burden float, to pay in full this time
When youre living on a dreamers salary A broken harvest, feels like robbery What do I do this for, if it's just gonna pour out easily?
Youve seen me there Climbing the stairs, beggin for air And not coming up Im not coming up
What do I know? What do I own That will not fade away All things fade away Where will I be? The fruit and the tree Thirst and fade away All things fade away
