Dyed in the wool
you've been cornered
by a natural desire
You want to hop along with
the giddy throng through life
But how will you learn to
steer when you're grinding
all your gears
You've been talking for hours
You say yime will wash
every tower to the sea
And now you've got
this worry in your heart
Well I guess it's only life
it's only natural
We all spend a little while
going down the rabbit hole
The things they taught you
they're lining up to haunt you
You got your back
against the wall
I call you on the telephone
won't you pick up the receiver
I've been down the very
road you're walking now
It doesn't have to be
so dark and lonesome
It takes a while but we
can figure this thing out
And turn it back around
You used to be such a lion
Before you got into all
this crying on my lap
Back when you thought
I'd never get this far
But did you really think
I'd shut an open door
The future's calling and
Imma answer her
The wheels in motion
I never drank your potion
And I know it breaks your heart
Open up your parachute
something's gotta
stop the free fall
I've been down the very
road you're walking now
It doesn't have to be
so dark and lonesome
It takes a while but we
can figure this thing out
And turn it back around
