A Shoulder to the Wheel

You're conquered and your blood is pounding in your ears

But you're doing, doing, doing, doing, doing fine

Find the broken pieces and then start a new

You make yourself believe that you did something right

You're denying your only wish

By forgetting your promises

Once and for all

Once and for ever more

If you finally reach your aim

You will never be able to

Gain back the time

You lost between

Once and for ever more, for ever more

You're trying hard to reconstruct your image

But you're doing, doing, doing, doing, doing right

Oh yes, I think that you will always stay like this

When you put your idle shoulder to the wheel, oh

To the wheel, oh

To the wheel

You're denying your only wish

By forgetting your promises

Once and for all

Once and for ever more

If you finally reach your aim

You will never be able to

Gain back the time

To gain back the time

You're denying your only wish

By forgetting your promises

Once and for all

Once and for ever more

If you finally reach your aim

You will never be able to

Gain back the time

You lost between

A shoulder to the wheel
