See the days get shorter now,
A frozen river slow,
Well honesty is only a reflex action,
You lost years ago

Save the good songs for the good times,
There's still work to do,
Close you eyes now gently,
And hold out your hands

The village idiot meets and greets,
Shaking hands for votes,
Join the procession that's clogging our streets,
And feel the fumes in your throat

Save the good songs for the good times,
There's still work to do,
Close you eyes now gently,
And hold out your hands

You're all asleep at the wheel

You're all asleep at the wheel,
You're all asleep at the wheel,
You're all asleep at the wheel,
You're all asleep
