Twenty years on and he still thinks

He'll make a dent on the shrinking world

But the pent-up way it works still stinks

The spinning of wheels

Has been enough to keep him occupied

Keep him tough

But there's no momentum

Just the gravel and the spinning

And those who could help him disappear saying

Wish we could but we'd interfere

After all they have their own careers

Hey look up look down look out somehow

Look through the blindfold

Shake your fist and bet your soul

You're in the way and the big wheels roll

Big wheels roll big wheels roll

Oh no one gets on a leaky ship

Associations can weaken one's place in history

He tells himself

And he tells himself that they're lame and weak

But he only has himself to blame

For being scatterbrained quarantined

How can one fool one's self so long

How can one hold the dream so tight

He chokes it and provokes a wrong

Hey look up look down look out somehow

Look through the blindfold

Shake your fist and bet your soul

You're in the way and the big wheels go

Hey

He says

Damn the cool-headed

And the setters of goals who can feel no evil

No heat no cold

Who wouldn't know passion

If it swallowed them whole

For whom true love is a left-brain risk

For whom the giving of life is a needless myth

Who cover their graves with monoliths

Cool heads prevail and we'll become extinct

Mutants too unfit to wish

That's the fallout of our fingerprints

Hey look up look down look out somehow

Look through the blindfold

Shake your fist and bet your soul

You're in the way and the big wheels roll

Big

Wow

Look up look down look out somehow

Look through the blindfold

Shake your fist and bet your soul

You're in the way and the big wheels roll

Hey

Big wheels roll big wheels roll

Yeah
