[1] I've been up and down and around and 'round and [5] back again
I've [4] been so many places I can't [1] remember where or [5] when
And my [1] only boss was the clock on the wall and my [5] only friend
[4] Never really [5] was a friend at [1] all

Well I've [6m] traded love for pennies and [3m] sold my soul for less
Lost my [4] deals in that [1] long tunnel of [5] time
And I've turned [1] inside out and around about and [5] back again
[4] Found myself [5] right back where I [4] star-[5]-ted [1] again

Once I had myself a million now I've only got a dime
The difference don't seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or million I was searchin' all the time
For something that I've never lost or [4] left [1] behind

And now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top
I've learned a lot of things along the way
I'll be careful while I'm climbing 'cause it hurts a lot to drop
When [4] you're down [5] nobody gives a [4] damn [5] any-[1]-way
