She's got a rope tied around her waist
The other end is to a moving train
And it's draggin' her, draggin' her away
She wants to slow down, relax, look around
But it's hard to smell the roses
When you're trying not to drown
Mmmm Yeahh
Like a wind up toy but someone else
Turns the key
Like a car on a track
But the light's always green
Can't slow down, can't slow down
Can't slow down
She wants to slow down, relax, look around
But it's hard to smell the roses
When you're trying not to drown
Mmmm Yeahh
The hands just keep spinnin' on that clock on the wall
If she tries to take a breath
She knows she'll just fall
Back into the race
That she never wanted at all
She wants to slow down, relax, look around
But it's hard to smell the roses
When you're trying not to drown
Mmmm Yeahh
(She's got a rope tied around her waist

And it's draggin' her
Draggin, draggin, draggin' her away
