Hands on the Wheel

The night takes form in the mist falling down The smoke blows over the leaves on the ground The shapes of the people and shadows behind us The walls of the buildings serve to remind us That all of our working won't earn us a crown The hours of sorrow you try to delay Have left for tomorrow just for today The friends that you gathered fell out of view They never could care what happened to you And all of your records ain't worth it to play But the light of the moon Is your saviour tonight And the heart of the city Is reaching your sight Well they promised us gold And they took us for fools Now all we know is pain that don't seem real So I'm done with growing old Done with playing by the rules And tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel Yeah tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel We moved in the cloak of a break in the crowd We drove with the radio turned up loud We swallowed the fear and we buried the hate We left all the anger and opened the gates And we felt the love wash away our doubt But the hot burning sun Is our one guiding light And the hard part of running Is leaving the fight Well they promised us gold And they took us for fools Now all we know is pain that don't seem real So I'm done with growing old Done with playing by the rules And tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel Yeah tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel I can't keep fighting all these ghosts They've made the journey far too long I can't keep waiting out this storm I think I'm ready to move on Well they promised us gold And they took us for fools Now all we know is pain that don't seem real So I'm done with growing old Done with playing by the rules And tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel Yeah tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel Whoa tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel Yeah tonight lets keep our hands on the wheel
