Along the way to close my eyes   I lost where I was going   The more it will spin, more that I try      To stop my mind flowing away, away   To all that I despise   Along the way to close my eyes      You can't be let down if you don't expect the world   Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl   If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell   Cursing consciousness, it's your private hell      Along the way to close my eyes   I lost where I was going   The more it will spin, more that I try      To stop my mind flowing away, away   To all that I despise   Along the way to close my eyes      Tick tick tick the clock bludgeons your mind   Endlessly replaying times that were unkind   Go away sun I'm not prepared for you today   It seems you are, it seems you are      Along the way to close my eyes   I lost where I was going   The more it will spin, more that I try      To stop my mind flowing away, away   To all that I despise   Along the way to close my eyes
