Caught in the maelstrom again
No sleep from the noise and commotion
Flowers and chocolates can't make it OK
When I've gambled away our love
Scorned by the voices again
Though everyone's gone to the rapture
Some of these things we just have to let go
Though they're shackled to things we love
So
Take all your dollars & cents
Take them away to the railroad
Make them as flat as the words that I sing
'Chus I'm not looking out for you
No more
My compass is spinning within
Magnetic pull of emotion
There's no direction to lead me back home
There's no solace in life alone
Lost in the echo, my friend
Lost from the flock that I guided
Lost every reason for writing these rhymes
And I'm lost from the ones I love
So
Take all your dollars & cents
Take them away to the railroad
Make them as flat as the words that I sing
'Chus I'm not looking out for you
Take all your dollars & cents
Make them as flat as the words that I sing
'Chus I'm not looking out for you
No more
