On A Roll Lyrics

A slash of light

Cuts under the blind

And opens up your eyes

Alarm clock ticking

Morning explodes

And shatters your peace of mind

You turn the ignition

The city starts up

Throbbing like a headache

You peer through the windshield

Then drive off

Crashing into the day

You're on a roll

Running in circles

On a roll

Spinning out of control

On a roll

Running in circles

Spinning out of control

A lunch hour sun roasts the city

Steam rises through the grates

Downtown is stuffed to overflowing

We all have too much on our plates

But you don't have time to eat much

You're on another roll

You're wheeling and dealing

Running in business circles all day

You're circuits are overloaded

A type "A" trying to make the grade

At night you lie tossing and turning

Rolling it over in your mind

Traffic like machine gun fire

Shoots out along the freeway

Your nerves are shot

You live on the line

The phone finds you night and day

Headlights skid along the highway

The clock's spinning out of control
