To live between a rock and a hard place

In between time --

Cruising in prime time -- soaking up the cathode rays



To live between the wars in our time --

Living in real time --

Holding the good time -- Holding on to yesterdays...



You know how that rabbit feels

Going under your speeding wheels

Bright images flashing by

Like windshields towards a fly

Frozen in the fatal climb -- but the wheels of time --

Just pass you by...



Wheels can take you around

Wheels can cut you down



We can go from boom to bust

From dreams to a bowl of dust

We can fall from rockets' red glare

Down to "Brother can you spare --"

Another war -- another waste land --

And another lost generation...



It slips between your hands like water

This living in real time

A dizzying lifetime

Reeling by on celluloid



Struck between the eyes

By the big-time world

Walking uneasy streets --

Hiding beneath the sheets --

Got to try and fill the void
