People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings To save me from ruin When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy, now you no longer play the game People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice, designed to enlighten me When I tell them that I'm doing fine, watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time, boy, you're no longer on the ball I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go People asking questions, lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go I just had to let it go I just had to let it go
