lyrics

No ground to roam, on a golden road
I turned to cobbled stone
Madam I can’t condone, leave it alone
And it just goes to show
Footprints I have outgrown, I hope to make it home
Maybe i should postpone, maybe I’ll atone

Round round the track I go, call Rodeo
Let’s get the cattle home
Like a pack of wild foes, unexposed
Hiding in sheep’s clothes

Can’t change the path I chose, and this change I’ll owe
My recommended dose, I’m left to cope

Fresh foot on the ground, pumping to a pound
A terrible sound, oh, a terrible sound
Top of the mound, I’m ready to out
I left with no doubt, I left with no doubt
Nor pleasure found, Lucy merry-go-round
Lady don’t take me now, oh, you’re taking me down
you’re taking me down
you’re taking me down
you’re taking me down

Take me now, I’ll go without
Just let me have me back, and I’ll leave you your thorny crown
Just let you know I’m fine, and I’ll do my time for raising ground

Take me now, I’ll go without
Just let me have me back, and I’ll leave you your thorny crown
Just let you know I’m fine, and I’ll my time for raising ground
