No Wheels on My Wagon

from The Castle is Burning! by One Dog Clapping

/

lyrics

No wheels on my wagon, I'm a statue on the road
watching as the vehicles forever come and go
where they think they're going I can only imagine
as I wait here by my unmoving wagon
are you going?

No wheels on my wagon, I stop and look around
I wasn't really moving but I only noticed now
if it’s better to travel than it is to arrive
then look at this wagon - it's in no state to drive

are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
or just jumping up and down

no wheels on my wagon, I'm playing a new game
the object is to be a statue without a name
if you had a memory then what would be your action?
come and play the game with me take the wheels off your wagon

are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
or just spiralling around

the wheels turn around, wheels within wheels
automotion and automation illusions of movement
despite corrosion and abrasion, delusions of improvement
Because you're kicking your heels and jumping up and down
head up in the clouds but nothing on the ground
blinded by the sights and deafened by the sounds
are you going somewhere or just spiralling around?

are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
or just jumping up and down
are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
are you going somewhere?
or just spiralling around
