Cartwheels to eternity
 Round and round my head she goes
 In the good dreams  though she wears no clothes

 Took our picture by the sea
 The ocean waits to carry me
 Carry me back home again
 To where she sleeps
 I lay my head

 Saw her running barefoot
 But the ground there never touched her feet.
 Lost her in the shadows
 While the tide came iin and claimed our beach.
 We could've made it in the dunes
 We had it all within our reach.
 But I've got a lot of life to learn and you've got a lot of life to teach.

 Chorus:

 Why do we all end up alone
 Why do we always have to find our way back home
 Why do we all end up alone
 We gather no moss, just like a rolling...

 What I say is what I mean
 No definition in between
 Couldn't make it in the movie scene
 You couldn't stay on, you couldn't stay clean.
 What you wear is who you are
 The odds are in and you'll go far.
 A penny for your thoughts, you see
 A nickel buys you what you need.

 Saw you on the big show,
 Saw you swinging from the big trapeze.
 Standing on my tiptoes
 While you brush the dirt from off your knees.
 Should've come as no surprise,
 No one else here did have your drive.
 You got a big white stretch parked right outside
 Nobody there to share your ride.

 Chorus:

 Why do we all end up alone
 Why do we always have to find our way back home.
 Why do we all end up alone
 Why do we all end up dead, drunk, or stoned.

 (Guitar)

 What I know is what I hear
 The ringing in my ears is clear.
 A monley's get it made you see
 Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree.

 Chorus:

 Why do we all end up alone
 Why do we always have to find our way back home.
 Why do we all end up alone
 We gather no moss, just like a rolling stone.

 Why do we all end up alone
 Why do we always have to find our way back home.
 Why do we all end up alone
 Why do we all end up dead, drunk, or stoned?

 Dead, Drunk, or Stoned...
 Just like a rolling stone
