I've been up and down
Around and round
And back again
I've been so many places
I can't remember where or when
And my only boss
Was a clock on the wall
And my only friend
Never really was a friend at all
I've traded love for pennies
I've sold my soul for less
Lost my deals in that long
Tunnel of time
I've turned inside out around about
And back and then
Found myself
Right back where I
Started again
Once I had myself a million
Now I only got a dime
But the difference
Don't seem quite so bad today
Now with a nickel or a million
I was searching all the time
For something that I'd never lost
Or left behind
I've traded love for pennies
I've sold my soul for less
Lost my deals in that long
Tunnel of time
I've turned inside out around about
And back and then
I found myself
Right back where I
Started again
Now I'm in my second circle
And I'm heading for the top
And 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
And when you're down
Nobody gives a damn anyway
I've traded love for pennies
I've sold my soul for less
I've lost my deals in that long
Tunnel of time
I've turned inside out around about
And back and then
I found myself
Right back where I
Started again
