When I look all around me,
It's not hard to see what's goin' on,
The bad guys get the sympathy,
And it's hard to tell what's right from wrong
There's a fire on the city streets,
It's eclipsing the moon,
But it's all just a haze to me anyway,
Everything gets so confused
And it's blurring my sight,
Spinning round on the wheel of life,
Feel so alone here tonight,
Here in the shadows of my mind's eye
Trying to see what's going on,
Then understand what's going wrong
You went off with the pirates,
And they took you to lunch,
To a greasy spoon diner,
And got you so drunk
Saw your face in a newsflash,
On the evening news,
You should never have been there,
So they had you removed
And it's blurring my sight,
Spinning round on the wheel of life,
Feel so alone here tonight,
Here in the shadows of my mind's eye
Trying to see what's going on,
Then understand what's going wrong
