Wind It Up

Wind it up and let it go When it gets to the other side, oh no Now wait a minute can't you see I'm lost I try to get it but I may be too far gone I think about it baby then I'm wrong I try to beat it but I'm no good on my own You say you don't see what you know about me I got a penchant for the revelry Now I been the best that I can be But there ain't no good plans for me [Chorus:] 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 I'm wide awake, let it slide Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my I'll get my sleep when I'm dead Right now I'm falling over but I'm 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 can't bite People seem uptight, there's no hope in sight But if I loosen my head a little then I'll be all right But when the morning comes I do it all again because I [Chorus:] 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 I'm wide awake, let it slide Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my I'll get my sleep when I'm dead Pull together all the moments I found Man there's sure a lot of people in this town They all do their best to bring me down But I can't be stopped now And the moment's just floating away And I stutter Maybe I'm too old to try and live this way I should know better I slow down and I'm falling behind Break off a piece of this life and I call it mine But you can't get back this time [Chorus:] So let's 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 I'm wide awake, let it slide Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my I'll get my sleep when I'm dead
