lyrics

You're stuck on a wheel
Chewing the cud
The things that boil your blood
Go at it till dawn
Hammer and tongue
It's really got you
All fired up

If it's a bad scene you should go home

Dream for personal cause
A bevy of whores
And endless sea
Of empty wants
The pendulum swings
At killing time you're the king
And now your life is
All fucked up

If it's a bad trip you should give up
If it's a bad scene you should go home

But don't come down from your tower
If you're just gonna feed the problem and cry about it

Brace yourself for a fall
Crashing to earth
Now tell me
How does that sound?
Pick up the parts
And carry on as you are
Where there's no feeling
There's no pain

If it's a bad trip you should give up
If it's a bad scene you should go home
