lyrics

(babababa babababa babababa babababa)

Winter turns to summertime this alone is real
still I find that I'm inclined to reinvent the wheel
punk parades and porn arcades wait to make a deal
but al they do is sucker you and reinvent the wheel

And like the swallows and macarthur I return
just to see how many replays I can earn
and I'm amazed at all the stuff that I learn
the umpteenth time around

(babababa babababa babababa babababa)

Landlords raise the rent for days farmers raise a meal
teachers raise the price of praise and reinvent the wheel
sexy clothes and tv shows change the way I feel
make me sick and heal me quick and reinvent the wheel

And like the swallows and macarthur I return
just to see how many bridges I can burn
and I'm amazed at all the stuff that I learn
the umpteenth time around

Have a good time at the playground
ride the wheel round and round and round...

Lovers play their hearts away lost beyond appeal
wipe their eyes and zip their flies and reinvent the wheel
matter arcs in cosmic sparks galaxies reveal
take their place in time and space and reinvent the wheel

And like the swallows and macarthur I return
just to see how many replays I can earn
and I'm amazed at all the stuff that I learn
the umpteenth time around

(babababa babababa babababa babababa)
