The perfect life - isn't that what you said When all you had to do was take it? But late at night when you're climbing the walls You're alone and there's no way to fake it There's no rest for those who try to live a lie Where you stand is where you'll stay You act like you're the hero - you're the talk of the town Last night you were the King of the World, but now you're coming down On the wheel of fortune, your future spins Round and round and round On the wheel of fortune, you've touched the sky But now you've hit the ground Another night, you're pushing the edge You want to see if you can make it But everyone around, in your sycophantic crowd Is wondering just how far you'll take it
