Pete Townshend
Relay
[Verse 1]
You can hear it in the street
See it in the dragging feet
The word is getting out about control
Spies, they've come and gone
The story travels on
The only quiet place is inside your soul

[Pre-Chorus]
From tree to tree
From you to me
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway
Every single dream
Wrapped up in the scheme
They all get carried on the relay

[Chorus]
(The relay) Things are brewing
(The relay) Something's doin'
(The relay) There's a revolution
(The relay, relay) Hand me down a solution!
Yeah, pass it on!
Keep on, relay!

[Verse 2]
Someone disapproves
Of what you say and do
I was asked to see what I could really learn you
Don't believe your eyes
You're telling only lies
What is done in the first place don't concern you
[Pre-Chorus]
From tree to tree
From you to me
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway
Every single dream
Wrapped up in the scheme
They all get carried on the relay

[Chorus]
(The relay) Things are brewing
(The relay) Something's doin'
(The relay) There's a revolution
(The relay, relay) Hand me down a solution!
Yeah, pass it on

[Outro]
Pass it on
Pass it on!
Hey you! Pass it on
We're on the relay!
Get a-movin'
Get on a-movin' on
The relay, the relay
The relay, the relay...
