The perfect life - isn't that what you said
When all you had to do was take it?
But late at night when you're climbing the walls
You're alone and there's no way to fake it

There's no rest for those who try to live a lie
Where you stand is where you'll stay
You act like you're the hero - you're the talk of the town
Last night you were the King of the World,
but now you're coming down

On the wheel of fortune, your future spins
Round and round and round
On the wheel of fortune, you've touched the sky
But now you've hit the ground

Another night, you're pushing the edge
You want to see if you can make it
But everyone around, in your sycophantic crowd
Is wondering just how far you'll take it
