People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they 1 me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say 2 I'm O.K. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer 3 the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well 4 give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine 5 shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting 6 watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them 7
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions 8 in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they 9 their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
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
