Oleka
In a dream
You and I ran from twisting tall tornadoes
But I woke up feelin' fine
Because you died so long ago
I remember when my father told me I'd have to bury you someday
And I did not believe him
Why do I never believe him
All the beasts of burden
Keep the wheel turnin'
Summer nights keep slippin' by
I wasted my whole life
At least I'm earnin'
All your days lost
To that spinning repetition
That old hamster wheel
That sun and moon
Old men who once were children
Are your tired eyes that watch the sky
In tears with joy or sickness?
Can we ever catch the here and now
And end this awful quickness?
All the beasts of burden
Keep the wheel turnin'
Summer nights keep slippin' by
I wasted my whole life
At least I'm earnin'
You and I ran from twisting tall tornadoes
But I woke up feelin' fine
Because you died so long ago
I remember when my father told me I'd have to bury you someday
And I did not believe him
Why do I never believe him
All the beasts of burden
Keep the wheel turnin'
Summer nights keep slippin' by
I wasted my whole life
At least I'm earnin'
All your days lost
To that spinning repetition
That old hamster wheel
That sun and moon
Old men who once were children
Are your tired eyes that watch the sky
In tears with joy or sickness?
Can we ever catch the here and now
And end this awful quickness?
All the beasts of burden
Keep the wheel turnin'
Summer nights keep slippin' by
I wasted my whole life
At least I'm earnin'
