People say I 'm crazy doing what I 'm doing,

Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,

When I say that I 'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,

Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I 'm lazy dreaming my life away,

Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,

When I tell that I 'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,

Don't you miss the big time boy you 're no longer on the ball ?

I 'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,

I really love to watch them roll,

No longer riding on the merry-go-round,

I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion,

Well I tell them there's no problem,

Only solutions,

Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I 've lost my mind,

I tell them there's no hurry...

I 'm just sitting here doing time,

I 'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,

I really love to watch them roll,

No longer riding on the merry-go-round,

I just had to let it go.
