Spinning, spinning dishes, all in the air
Twenty-two trillion tons all on your shoulder
Fantasies, dreams and wishes floating there
The dust of mortal man is getting older
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down, waiting for another day
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down Hoping your dreams will stay
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down, waiting for another day
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down
Hoping your dreams will stay.. Will stay... will stay...
Standing, standing at a cross-roads in your head
But the road goes straight as a line for a thousand miles
There’s a magnet your soul that’s made of lead
And the needle’s spinning dishes all the while
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down, waiting for another day
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down Hoping your dreams will stay
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down, waiting for another day
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down, waiting for another day
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down Hoping your dreams will stay
(Well you) wake, work, wind on down, waiting for another day [Way-ayy-, Way-ayy ayyk]
Hoping your dreams will stay.. Will stay... will stay...
