People say I'm crazy   Doing what I'm doing   Well, they give me all kinds of warnings   To save me from ruin      When I say that I'm okay   Well, they look at me kinda strange   Surely you're not happy now   You no longer play the game      People say I'm lazy   Dreaming my life away   Well, they give me all kinds of advice   Designed to enlighten me      When I tell them that I'm doing fine   Watching shadows on the wall   Don't you miss the big time, boy?   You're no longer on the ball      I'm just sitting here   Watching the wheels go round and round   I really love to watch them roll      No longer riding on the merry-go-round   I just had to let it go      Ah, people asking questions   Lost in confusion   Well, I tell them, there's no problem   Only solutions      Well, they shake their heads   And they look at me as if I've lost my mind   I tell them, there's no hurry   I, I'm just sitting here doing time      I'm just sitting here   Watching the wheels go round and round   I really love to watch them roll      No longer riding on the merry-go-round   I just had to let it go   I just had to let it go   I just had to let it go
