  • Oh, kid you're in a terrible state
    You better pick yourself up before it gets too late
    You're into phyiscal fitness and emotional fatness
    You think you're an actress, you act like a mattress
    How does it happen?
    How does it happen?
    How do things get to be that way?
    How does it happen?
    How does it happen?
    I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away
    Runnin' away, runnin' away
    Runnin' away, runnin' away

    Oh, kid it can be bad out there
    When the trash comes at you from everywhere
    An original thought can be such a rush
    Why do they feed you on a diet of man-made mush?
    How does it happen?
    How does it happen?
    How does it get to be that way?
    How does it happen?
    How does it happen?
    I feel like a wheel on a train runnin' away
    Runnin' away, runnin' away
    Runnin' away, runnin' away
    I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away

    Oh, kid there's no quick solution
    And there's no one there to grant you absolution
    When your friends belong in an institution
    There's a spanner in the works of evolution
    How does it happen?
    How does it happen?
    How does it get to be that way?
    How does it happen?
    How does it happen?
    I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away...
    Runnin' away, runnin' away
    Runnin' away, runnin' away
    Runnin' away
    I feel like a wheel on a train that's runnin' away
    Runnin' away, runnin' away Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
