You're conquered and your blood is pounding in your ears
But you're doing, doing, doing, doing, doing fine
Find the broken pieces and then start a new
You make yourself believe that you did something right

You're denying your only wish
By forgetting your promises
Once and for all
Once and for ever more

If you finally reach your aim
You will never be able to
Gain back the time
You lost between

Once and for ever more, for ever more

You're trying hard to reconstruct your image
But you're doing, doing, doing, doing, doing right
Oh yes, I think that you will always stay like this
When you put your idle shoulder to the wheel, oh

To the wheel, oh
To the wheel

You're denying your only wish
By forgetting your promises
Once and for all
Once and for ever more

If you finally reach your aim
You will never be able to
Gain back the time
To gain back the time

You're denying your only wish
By forgetting your promises
Once and for all
Once and for ever more

If you finally reach your aim
You will never be able to
Gain back the time
You lost between

A shoulder to the wheel
