Lyrics:
At a time when the world seems to be spinnin'
Helplessly out of control
There's deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners
That seem to have no place to go

Well, it's the same old song
It's right and it's wrong
And this livin' is just somethin' that I do
And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I've found myself in you

Well, I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel of something that's real
And I feel like I'm goin' home

In the shade of an oak down by the river
Sat an old man and a boy
Settin' sails, spinnin' tales, and fishin' for whales
With a lady that they both enjoy

Well, it's the same damn tune
It's the man in the moon
It's the way that I feel about you
And with no place to hide
I looked in your eyes
And I've found myself in you

And I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel of something that's real
And I feel like I'm goin' home
