Beneath the Wheel
Better slow down.Better still, just sit and hush.On the road to kingdom comeIt doesn't pay to rush.As you race through those canyonsOf concrete and steel,Don't fall for a fast oneAnd slip beneath the wheel. Slow it down.Slow it down and take your time.Count down to one from ninety-nine.Then just count on down,And count on down,And count on down again. What's your hurry?You must come to realizeThe tour guide is a conman,A raconteur of lies.With his Hollywood savvyHe offers a deal;Mere yellow brick gold dust.Don't slip beneath the wheel. Lay it down.Lay it down and dream awhile.Just let your lover see you smile.Then go lay it down,And lay it down,And lay it down again. Better slow down.Better yet, just stop and thinkWill your faith in love endureYour ego’s weakest link?It’s a hard life that tests us,A rugged ordeal.Take care you don't stumbleAnd slip beneath the wheel.
