Standing in the middle of nowhere Wondering how to begin Lost between tomorrow and yesterday Between now and then And now we're back where we started Here we go round again Day after day I get up and I say I better do it again Where are all the people going Round and round till we reach the end One day leading to another Get up go out do it again Then it's back where you started Here we go round again Back where you started Come on do it again And you think today is going to be better Change the world and do it again Give it all up and start all over You say you will but you don't know when Then it's back where you started Here we go round again Day after day I get up and I say Come on better do it again The days go by and you wish you were a different guy Different friends and a new set of clothes You make alterations and [a fact in you knows] A new house a new car a new job a new nose But it's superficial and it's only skin deep Cause the voices in your head keep shouting in your sleep Get back, get back Back where you started, here we go round again Back where you started, come on do it again Back where you started, here we go round again Day after day I get up and I say, do it agaiiinnn Do it again Day after day I get up and I say, do it again
