Verse 1/2 (Clean)
coming down I'm coming round, this time I think I'm waking up
give me loud to drown it out, before the world starts breaking up
you change and then, you change again
turning like a wheel inside your head
yours and mine and left and right there's still two sides to everyone
you and I get on with life and pray we'll find a better one
you change and then, you change again
turning like a wheel inside your head
