Dyed in the wool you've been
Cornered by unnatural desire
You want to hop along
With the giddy throng
Through life
But how’d you learn to steer
When you’re grinding all your gears
You've been talking for hours
You said time will wash every tower
To the sea
Now you've got this
Worry in your heart
Well I guess it’s only life
It’s only natural
We all spend a little while
Going down the rabbit hole
The things they taught you
They’re lining up to haunt you
They’ve your back against the wall
Call you on the telephone
Wont’ you pick up the receiver
I’ve been down the very road you’re walking now
It doesn’t have to be so
Dark and lonesome
It takes a while but we can
Figure this thing out
And turn it back around
You used to be such a lion
Before you got into all this
Crying
In my lap
Back on when you thought I’d
Never get this far
But did you really think I’d shut an open door
The future’s calling
And Imma answer
The wheels in motion
I never drank your potion
And I know it breaks your heart
Open up your parachute
Something’s gotta stop the freefall
I’ve been down the very road you’re walking now
It doesn’t have to be so
Dark and lonesome
It takes a while but
We can figure this thing out
And turn it back around
