Finished ------
Give me a shot. A glass.
A pitcher. Oh take it back.
I got a bottle. A pack.
I got a case. Oh I got it bad.
I need to go cold turkey. (Take it away)
I need to clear my head. (Give me a day)
Before I get thirsty. (Take it away) 
Oh put me to bed.
Cause I’m finished. Done. It’s over. I’m moving on. 
I’m through. I quit. Finished with all of it. 

Give me a call. A text.
A whisper. I must confess.
I want kisses. Sex.
Caresses. I’m too obsessed.
I need a cold shower. (Take it away)
I need to clear my head. (Give me a day)
Before I get devoured. (Take it away)
Oh put me to bed.
Cause I’m finished. Done. It’s over. I’m moving on.
I’m through. I quit. Finished with all of it. 

I let it get to me.
I lose control.
It’s a mystery how to cope.

Give me a nod. A wink.
A handshake. Some self-esteem.
I want rest. Peace.
Elation. A little relief.
I need to beat the depression. (Take it away) 
I need to clear my head. (Give me a day)
Before another regression. (Take it away)
Oh put me to bed.
Cause I’m finished. Done. It’s over. I’m moving on.
I’m through. I quit. Finished with all of it.

Turns --------
Seconds on the clock keep ticking away.
Minutes turn to hours turn to series of days.
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on…
Time doesn’t stop for a break.
Doesn’t take a rest.
I need a chance to relax.
Need to catch my breath.
But it goes on and on and on and on…
——— Chorus ———
I feel all of the…	I feel all of the ways…
I feel all of the ways that it turns.	It turns.

An image in my mind keeps flashing away.
Fragments of a word turn to sinister blame.
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on…
Doubt doesn’t stop for a break.
Doesn’t take a rest.
I need a chance to relax.
Need to catch my breath.
But it goes on and on and on and on…
——— Chorus ———
I feel all of the…	I feel all of the ways…
I feel all of the ways that it turns.	It turns.

Rollercoaster ride. Adrenaline and fear.
It goes on and on. 
White knuckle high. Nausea and thrills.
It goes on and on.
Can’t stop this life. Get used to the spin.
It goes on and on and on…
——— Chorus ———
I feel all of the…	I feel all of the ways…
I feel all of the ways that it turns.	It turns.
