When I look all around me,nIt's not hard to see what's goin' on,nThe bad guys get the sympathy,nAnd it's hard to tell what's right from wrongnnThere's a fire on the city streets,nIt's eclipsing the moon,nBut it's all just a haze to me anyway,nEverything gets so confusednnAnd it's blurring my sight,nSpinning round on the wheel of life,nFeel so alone here tonight,nHere in the shadows of my mind's eyenTrying to see what's going on,nThen understand what's going wrongnnYou went off with the pirates,nAnd they took you to lunch,nTo a greasy spoon diner,nAnd got you so drunknnSaw your face in a newsflash,nOn the evening news,nYou should never have been there,nSo they had you removednnAnd it's blurring my sight,nSpinning round on the wheel of life,nFeel so alone here tonight,nHere in the shadows of my mind's eye nTrying to see what's going on,nThen understand what's going wrong
