There's a pounding in my head
Steel driving gang
Senses edging into red
No yin with yang
By pale moons I wander
Wind and leaves I ponder
'Wrong way!', wish someone said
There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head
Kicking about at loose ends
Harder to be
In places where my mind can mend
Oh woe is me
It's not through lack of trying
Shards and splinters flying
Forces I cannot bend
I'm kicking about and I'm kicking about at loose ends
It's not through lack of trying
Shards and splinters flying
Forces I cannot bend
I'm kicking about and I'm kicking about at loose ends
Oh, never the same when it comes together
Oh, never the same summits of dreams
There's a pounding in my head
Steel driving gang
Senses edging into red
No yin with yang
By pale moons I wander
Wind and leaves I ponder
'Wrong way!', wish someone said
There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head
There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head
There's a pounding, a pounding, a pounding in my head
