Revolving Man Lyrics - Innocence Mission

Ah, revolving man, don't you ever get ahead? 

All your days are spent in catching up the rent 

Ah, revolve, revolve, don't you ever get a Sunday 

To read the paper and jump into leaves or water? 

You're laughing 

Of course I'm laughing, I'm happy 

To revolve around my children 

To revolve around my love 

Ah, revolving man, don't you ever want to cry? 

All your nights are spent in catching up your breath 

And the children need well, they're always needing something 

Growing out of clothes they grow into yesterday 

You young ones don't believe in nothing 

But freedom from yourselves 

Where are you getting ahead to? 

It's I who am sorry for you.
