The Hoosiers
The Wheels Fell Off
[Verse 1]
Do you remember when the wheels fell off the bus?
We were heading for a wedding but there was no stopping us
I fell head over heels but that wasn't enough
And now the bolts that bind us have all just turned to rust
I wonder what's under your bandages
We speak the same words in different languages
Just say the word and I'll help you to unfreeze
But it's so hard when you don't know the word for please
[Verse 2]
Do you remember when the wheels fell off the bus?
I was caught dragging my heels when you were in a rush
Driving has a way of proving perilous
What good's a steering wheel when your hands have both been crushed?
To catch perfection with a net and rod
White whales haunt your vision and you lose sight of what you've got
You are unshakable in your self belief
Just like all mad men who succumb to the deep
[Bridge]
Tell me, where did you go?
Tell me, where did our friend go?
Tell me, where did our friend go?
[Outro]
Pangaea to Atlantis in just under a year
You did all the drifting, so I'm gonna save my tears
Probably all my fault that you couldn't be more wrong
I've tried too hard for too long
Too hard for too long
Too hard for too long
