Fifth Wheel

Tripped all over my friends*

At once as they were starting to unwind

Had a feeling I was losing

'Cause as they moved along

I was falling far behind

I've got a frame full of

Good intentions that I left back at home to rot

Thought that to stay underground

And go streamline I'd be strong

Now I know I'm not everyday's a week now

A search for identity

The ground below my feet

Has got the best of me

And I'm tired of always changing

I'm tired of being seen

The path is leading homeward bound

Only God knows where I've been

I got sick of all of my friends at once

As they were starting to unwind

Had a feeling I was losing

'Cause as they moved along I was falling far behind

I've got a box full of small inventions

That I left back at home to rot

Thought that to stay underground

And go streamline I'd be strong

Now I know I'm not Many months I've been gone now

I've learned from all I've seen

Turn around and face southward bound

This has got the best of me

I'll keep looking for an answer

And made it through this time

With one foot on the platform

One foot on the train I'm going back to Richmond

To wear that ball and chain
