The Big Wheel |
Well, I was only a kid — didn’t know enough to be afraid |
Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played |
Nothing to lose — maybe I had something to trade |
The way the big wheel spins |
Well, I was only a kid, on a holy crusade |
I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made |
Take no chances on paradise delayed |
So I do a slow fade |
Playing for time |
Don’t want to wait for heaven |
Looking for love |
For an angel to forgive my sins |
Playing with fire |
Chasing something new to believe in |
Looking for love |
The way the big wheel spins |
Well, I was only a kid, cruising around in a trance |
Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance |
I was lined up for glory, but the tickets sold out in advance |
The way the big wheel spins |
Well, I was only a kid, gone without a backward glance |
Going for broke, going for another chance |
Hoping for heaven — hoping for a fine romance |
If I do the right dance |
Wheel goes round, landing on a twist of faith |
Taking your chances you’ll have the right answers |
When the final judgment begins |
Wheel goes round, landing on a leap of fate |
Life redirected in ways unexpected |
Sometimes the odd number wins |
The way the big wheel spins |
