My conscience is weary. Am I deaf dumb and blind?
Am I only acting through a bottle of wine?
Got feelings and tentions. Am I way out of line?
I find myself hunting, it's a secret of mine
And I don't know her, but she's got what I'll take
And she'll be all mine
She's just a one-night stander
And I know how to handle her
Mother and kids are just hanging on
And I work late nights, my phone's off the hook
My office is empty, and no one will look
I've got dreams and desires, my fear is like fire
I light up my night life, with some dollars for hire
I'm getting older, the fast lane is slowing down
She says I'm colder, my heartbeat going up, up
And never down
And I feel as though, I'm just a wheel in a machine
Going round in a devil's, devil's circle
Getting boring, from 9 to 5
Don't see the light or a horizon
The past of youth is gone
Oh bring them back again
Those times so wild and free
Laughing in me
And you froze on me. Why, you just run and hide
She can't be unkind, my wife is acting fine
I don't understand her, 'don't even like her
But she's all mine
She's just a one-life stander, the kids are the litter
Mother and kids are just hanging on
