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


[Chorus]


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 wasteland

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


[Chorus]
