Simple and sober
I've gotten older
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels
Yknow I wake up early
Cross eyed and curly
And I write down my twisted dreams
Oh I tiptoe and laugh til I find a new path and
I polish it til it gleams
Oh Simple and sober
I've gotten over
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels
I'm feeling shaky
I sleep like a baby
I wake up every couple of hours to cry
Oh it's only been lately I'm feeling shaky
And this too shall pass on by
Simple and sober
I've gotten over
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels
Now I'm seeing the prize through the eyes of a child and I'm trying to keep my conscious clear
Oh I'm walking the walk that I already talked
And I'm teaching my heart to steer
Simple and sober
I've gotten over
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels
Oh I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels
