When I look all around me,
It's not hard to see what's goin' on,
The bad guys get the sympathy,
And it's hard to tell what's right from wrong,

There's a fire on the city streets,
It's eclipsing the moon,
But it's all just a haze to me anyway,
Everything gets so confused;

CHORUS:
And it's blurring my sight,
Spinning round on the wheel of life,
Feel so alone here tonight,
Here in the shadows of my mind's eye -
Trying to see what's going on,
Then understand what's going wrong.

You went off with the pirates,
And they took you to lunch,
To a greasy spoon diner,
And got you so drunk;

Saw your face in a newsflash,
On the evening news,
You should never have been there,
So they had you removed;

And it's blurring my sight,
Spinning round on the wheel of life,
Feel so alone here tonight,
Here in the shadows of my mind's eye -
Trying to see what's going on,
Then understand what's going wrong.
