Head low,
Eyes forward,
Creasing the carpet,
Rolling along.

Follow a path/only I can see.
Be to me tenderly/what I need.

Head low,
Eyes forward,
creasing the carpet,
Rolling along.

Life is pastly present;
moving forwardly backward.

Head low,
Eyes forward,
Creasing the carpet,
Rolling along.

No complaint/no regret.
only paired, squeeking wheels.

Head low,
Eyes forward,
Creasing the carpet,
Rolling along.
