[Verse 1]
To live between a rock and a hard place, in between time
Cruising in prime time, soaking up the cathode rays
To live between the wars in our time, living in real time
Holding the good time, holding on to yesterdays
[Pre-Chorus]
You know how that rabbit feels, going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in that fatal climb, but the wheels of time just pass you by
[Chorus]
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down
We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare
Another war, another wasteland
And another lost generation"
[Verse 2]
It slips between your hands like water, this living in real time
A dizzying lifetime reeling by on celluloid
Struck between the eyes by the big-time world, walking uneasy streets
Hiding beneath the sheets, got to try and fill the void
[Pre-Chorus]
You know how that rabbit feels, going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in that fatal climb, but the wheels of time just pass you by
[Chorus]
We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare
Another war, another wasteland
And another lost generation"
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down
From rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare
Another war, another wasteland
Another lost generation"
