Lyrics

Asleep at the Wheel

I spilled my coffee
on my dress
My bus is late
My hair's a mess
I'm wondering who I'll impress
I'm feeling strange I must confess
And deep inside I wonder if
you look at me, I look at it.
Spinning endlessly I quit
My skins too tight it just won't fit
Infinity starts with one kiss

Round and round and round
Got no time to feel
Down Down Down Down Down
Asleep at the wheel

A baby cries - a mother wakes
Her blood is thin his tummy aches
She can't afford to hesitate
But no one helps the desperate shakes
The good the bad we classify
Just who will live and who will die
And each day we awake to try
to find an answer or to buy the new
a preview we can laugh or cry---
the new disaster

Round and round and round
Got no time to feel
Down Down Down Down Down
Asleep at the wheel

Self eluding I'm concluding
this is all so strange

The day is done the sun is set
With all its joys and its regrets
Has nothing changed? the same I bet
I kiss your hand and say, "Don't fret"
The local news is awful chilling
One more week is unfulfilling
My flesh is weak the Spirit's willing
Too much to think, just have a drink and wallow in my own self pity

Round and Round and Round
Got no time to feel
Down Down Down Down Down
Asleep at the wheel
