I've been up and down and around, around 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

Well, I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my deals in that long tunnel of time

And I've turned inside out and around, about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again

Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime

The difference don't seem quite as bad today

With a nickel or a million, I was searchin' all the time

For something that I'd never lost or left behind

Well, I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my deals in that long tunnel of time

And I've turned inside out and around, about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again

And now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top

I've learned a lot of things along the way

I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop

When you're down nobody gives a damn anyway

Well, I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my deals in that long tunnel of time

And I've turned inside out and around, about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again

Well, I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less

Lost my deals in that long tunnel of time

And I've turned inside out and around, about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again

And I've turned inside out and around, about and back and then

Found myself right back where I started again
