  • You can hear it in the street, see it in the dragging feet
    The word is gettin' out about control
    Spies they've come and gone, the story travels on
    The only quiet place is inside your soul

    From tree to tree, from you to me
    Travelin' twice as fast as on any freeway
    Every single dream, wrapped up in the scheme
    They all get carried on the relay

    Relay, things are brewin'
    Relay, something's doin'
    Relay, there's a revolution
    Relay, relay
    (Hand me down a solution, yeah)
    Pass it on, come on, a relay

    Someone disapproves, what you say and do
    I was asked to see what I could really learn you
    Don't believe your eyes, they're tellin' only lies
    What is done in the first place don't concern you

    From tree to tree, from you to me
    Travelin' twice as fast as on any freeway
    Every single dream wrapped up in the scheme
    They all get carried on the relay

    Relay, things are brewin'
    Relay, something's doin'
    Relay, there's a revolution
    Relay, relay
    (Hand me down a solution, yeah)
    Pass it on, 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 Writer/s: PETER TOWNSHEND
