Like an executioner on death row. It always seems to come right down to this A heavy hitter swings but seems to miss You can't help hoping you'll be the next one And you'll be winning We're tightly wound Going round and around We're tightly wound Going round and around We may break on the way up Or on the way down Going down, going down So don't cling to desperation Just use your imagination Your thoughts are what get you everything But don't think you've got it coming It always seems to come right down to this A heavy hitter swings but seems to miss You can't help hoping You'll be the next one And you'll be winning We're tightly wound Going round and around We're tightly wound Going round and around We may break on the way up Or on the way down Going down, going down
