Stealers Wheel

When I take a look around me I wonder how the sun's so sure, he knows the way, And why he doesn't stray, and if he spends the day Looking for another meaning. Still don't know what I really believe in, Will someone please put on the light, and make me feel al...

Well, I used to sit the whole night just like a stone, I could not move anywhere. Everyone was talking, everyone but me, I didn't know why I was there. Now I'm just glad to see the end... I'm back on my feet again, though it took so long, I'm back on my feet...

Genuflect, show respect, Don't forget it's a papal command, Take your seat, All you need is your rosary beads in your hand, Time to start, cross your heart, Be a part of the mystical band. Look at everybody trying to find their own place, Looking for a hea...

Do you remember back in '64? You came a-knockin', knockin' on my door, Yeah, you really got me going, but you kept me on ice, I didn't care where I was going, no I didn't think twice. I was just a young boy, yeah, I was so green, You were so experienced, you...

Riding on the subway watching all the people stare, Everyone just listens, they won't do any talking, Oh no, whoa no. They just sit there waitin', waitin' with their eyes Don't ask any questions, you won't get an answer, Oh no, whoa no. Everybody seems...

I was alone, I was so tired, down to my bones. And you know everything, every little moment had lost its ring. I found my way to you, you came right out the blue, And that was all you had to do, and I knew. I couldn't get you out of my mind, you know I reache...

Nothing is lost and nothing's gained, It's the same old situation again, No, I can't give or take anymore. Gets so lonely there's really nothing left to say, Gets so lonely and everything's so far away. No one is right and no one's wrong, How can I say right...

We went to school wrapped up in cotton wool, Dreaming 'bout the day I'd leave, I couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't wait to lay it out, all of those bad memories. Maybe I should mention I could never pay attention to all those educated fools. Got to do i...

Got to get back to the telephone, Make some money from a complete unknown. I know everything that I've got to say, I know 'cause I'm a good businessman. I can make you rich, I can make you a name, Promise you the world if you'll play my game. If you don't wan...

Living way down here and you're way up there, When I get this way, well, I can't feel you anywhere, Can't feel you anywhere, And I don't even care in this home from home. The people in the room trying to let it go, But everybody's so wound up they got nothing...

Woke up this morning, I got out of bed, Too late to go to work — walked my dog instead. I don't try too hard, but I get by. You don't have to tell me I've got a lot to learn, Think I gotta laugh at your overconcern. I don't try too hard, but I get by. You si...

Looking for something, looking for one thing Trying to find anything that makes you feel Gotta keep goin', don't let it get you down Now you've got nothing to lose You've been taking it so hard, taking it on the head Don't you know life's as good as being dea...

Time to turn the hay, listen, my José, Pick up your (?) and get your day's work done, Don't want to hear you talk to anyone. You better get on your way, listen, my José, Take off your shirt, you gotta earn your pay, Ain't gonna wear it out there anyway, boy,...

Late again, when I get home you'll be waiting. Still you know there ain't no use in you complaining. I know that I can show some respect, especially when I'm wrong. But when I get back I know you'll say, "You've been away too long." Ooooh, la-la-la, oooh......

I was down and I was so hung up, Drinkin' whiskey from a paper cup, Can't get out of the mood I'm in, Waitin' for everybody to begin, Turn the wheel, come on we'll make me feel, Just dig your heels, and we can fly. She made me get up right out my seat, Ma...

Well, I was working for the taxman, Digging out the facts at the Inland Revenue. I was slowly going nowhere, thinking it was somewhere, There was nothing I could do. I got wasted every day of the week, And come Sunday, well, I just couldn't speak. Monday morn...

Each day you try on a different person, Trying to find out who you really are. Now I think I have a way of knowing When I'm very close I'm not too far. I don't know just when I really found me, At times I wonder why it took so long. Only thing I know is deep...

It looked so good from the outside, I couldn't wait to join the crowd. It all looked different on the inside, It must have been my imagination, I felt so sure that was where I wanted to be... I thought I'd get out of the city, I took a trip down to the sea....

We sat up talking right on through the night, And the day had just begun. Then you said let's take a walk outside And watch the rising of the sun. And over my head there was so much to see in the sky, Just that feeling of being alive, Don't let it go, don't l...

I woke up, remembered everything I said to you last night, But this time I sure won't worry about what I might have done, 'Cause I was out to please myself, right or wrong. You came in, looking like a long-lost sheep, Said I'd been using you. You got what yo...

So they made you a star, now your head's in a cloud, Now you're walking down the street with your feet off the ground They read in the press all about your success, They believe every word they've been told. After all you've been through tell me what will you...

My daddy was a miner, said there was nothing finer Than an Irishman who worked an honest day. From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine, He'd make his way down to the mine, Along the dusty road he'd travel, Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go, Fifteen...

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Here I am stuck in the middle with you...

One more morning is on the way, It felt like the night was here to stay, Meanwhile morning is on the way. Daylight opening up the skies, Grey light opening up your eyes, Meanwhile morning is on the rise. One more morning is on the way, It felt like the night...

We can make all your wildest dreams come true, There's nothing that we couldn't do for you. There's no use sitting on the fence When you know it all makes sense. There's enough room for you, and there's enough room for me, And that's the way it's gonna be. T...

Here we go, time to start, if you're ready, Just get on out there, don't look so serious, Take that expression off your face, put a smile there in its place. Now you know we're on your side, so don't worry, You look the part with your faded Levi's shirt, You'...

We were sitting in a car, looking out at all the stars Well I had to talk to you, I had to get through to you Well we talked all through the night 'Cause we knew the time was right Well we thought we'd reached the end But we're going round again Wheelin', dea...

You get so tired of chasing dreams, You think that nothing's true. You start to question everything, everything you do. Feeling scared but you don't know why, So you tell yourself you're doing all right. You're sick of all the empty days That make you so af...

Kill a chicken, get it with a spike, You can cook it any way you like, Tell me now if you'd like a taste, On this old rooster nothing goes to waste. Wishbone, wish for anything you want, That old wishbone, gives you anything you want. I'll take the wings and...

You put something better inside of me, You put something better inside of me. I could look out the window or stare at the wall, But really it didn't matter, no, I just didn't care at all. Could be sitting by the water, counting every stone, 'Cause nothing mea...
