Set the wheels in motion, and watch them turning round I want to sail across the ocean, I've grown weary of this town Take the pressure down Cause I can feel it, it's rising like a storm Take hold of the wheels and turn them around Take the pressure down In this city full of danger, we lead our separate lives And I was frightened by a stranger, with desperation in her eyes Someone turned the pressure on I called your name and you were gone And I was trapped like a prisoner in this lonely town I'm gonna let things slide, until the pressure comes down Oh the winner tells his story, the loser hides in shame The winner steals the glory, while the loser takes the pain
