\n[Instrumental Intro: Winding Electric Guitar Riff, Rolling Bass, Loose Garage Drums, Hammond Organ and Circular Analog Synth Pattern]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nRound and round…<\/p>\n
We go.<\/p>\n
But I swear…
\n(… are we getting anywhere?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nTake the long way
\nTake the short
\nMake a turn
\nChange of course
\n(Of course…)<\/p>\n
Left at the corner
\nRight at the light
\nGoing around
\nBlind in the night<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nTurn!
\n(Turn!)
\nBack!
\n(Back!)<\/p>\n
Left!
\n(Left!)
\nRight!<\/p>\n
Where does the road
\nLead tonight?<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIn a roundabout way
\n(Or come on… head on?)
\nWhat would you say
\n(Is in the way?)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nRoundabout way!
\n(Round and round!)
\nAre we lost
\nOr are we found?<\/p>\n
Roundabout way!
\n(Leave or stay?)
\n… or maybe another day<\/p>\n
Going around
\n(’round n’ ’round)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nWe chase the shortcut
\nWe chase the prize
\nRun in circles
\nAnd wonder why<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIn a roundabout way
\n(Or come on… head on?)
\nWhat would you say
\n(Is in the way?)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Electric Guitar Solo: Circular Blues-Rock Lead, Wah-Wah, Hammond Organ, Synth Arpeggios and Rolling Bass]
\n[Bridge]
\nHead on!
\n(Head on!)<\/p>\n
Or turn away?
\n(Roundabout!)<\/p>\n
What would you say
\n(or are you still in doubt?)<\/p>\n
[Rap Vocal Break]
\nRoundabout
\n(Roundabout)
\nTurn it around
\n(Without a doubt)
\nLook at the problem
\nFrom the other side now
\n(Roundabout)<\/p>\n
Left lane
\n(Right lane)
\nSlow down
\n(Change lane)<\/p>\n
Is the smartest move
\n(What you cannot prove)<\/p>\n
Don’t confuse
\nGoing fast
\nWith getting there<\/p>\n
Don’t confuse
\nMore pressure
\nWith better care<\/p>\n
In a roundabout way
\n(Come on… head on?)
\nWhat would you say
\n(Come on! Come on!)<\/p>\n
Then change direction
\nChange the flow
\nGive the future
\nRoom to grow<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Music Drops to Acoustic Guitar, Bass and Sparse Piano]
\nIn a roundabout way…<\/p>\n
In a roundabout way
\n(Come on… head on!)
\nHear what we say
\n(Come on! Come on!)<\/p>\n
[Whispered]
\nWhat would you say…<\/p>\n
Is in the way?<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nIn a roundabout way
\n(Or come on… head on?)
\nWhat would you say
\n(Is in the way?)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Guitar Riff Circles Back to the Opening Theme, Bass and Hammond Organ Following; Synth Slowly Pans and Fades]<\/p>\n
Round…<\/p>\n
About…<\/p>\n
Way…<\/p>\n
[Spoken, fading]<\/p>\n
In a roundabout way
\n(Been there and back today)
\nWouldn’t you say
\n(Come on! Come on!)
\nSing along…
\n(Come on! Come on!)<\/p>\n
