Late last night I went to take a stroll, trying to shift myself out of cruise control.
And the place in which I'm living feels a lot more like a prison because,
Everyday is just like the one before

But every time that I try a different road,
I always drift back along the path back to my front door.


Chorus:
One more time around the block.
Right past the sign saying stop.

Right past the guide inside that cries "One more time, ain't worth the cost."
And I've tried to make the fantasy into reality,
but I've been wastin' all my time.


I met Shelly down by the corner store,
she's the kind of girl left me wanting more.

But Shelly she can work it, till she's shortin' out your circuts.
Till her circular circus leaves you on the floor.
And a man gets compromised when he's vulnerable,

I've got to reroute, there ain't no doubt that I've fallen for:



Chorus:
One more time around the block.
Right past the sign saying stop.

Right past the guide inside that cried "One more time, ain't worth the cost."
And I've tried to make the fantasy into reality,
but I've been wastin' all my time.


Don't give me no lip, I ain't got no sympathy.
(No sentiment, oh no)

What you reap is what you sow.
Are you the subject of the same old story?
When you could be writing your own.


Everytime I try to pay the toll
Every time save my soul

Changin' my gamblin' ways seems impossible.
(I can't keep on givin' these dice a throw)
I must determine who's responsible.

I dropped the reigns of this horse long ago.

(See there's one thing....)

You can lead a horse to water
(But if he don't drink...)
He leads himself to slaughter..

(Said if he don't drink...)
You best believe me partner.......(oh, die)
It's a hard way to go.


And this ain't your first rodeo!


Chorus:
One more time around the block.
Right past the sign saying stop.

Right past the guide inside that cried "One more time, ain't worth the cost."
And this tried, tires stride has got me down on my knees
but I've been wastin' all my time.



One more time around the track.

One more time sneekin' out the back
And I've been blind cause I know "One more time, ain't worth jack."
And I've tried to make the fantasy into reality,

but I've been wastin' all my time.

One more time, round the block.
