"The Big Wheel" lyrics
"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
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
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
The way the big wheel spins
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
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
Playing for time
Don't want to wait for heaven
Looking for love
The way the big wheel spins
The way the big wheel spins
The way the big wheel spins
The way the big wheel spins...

Stone Temple Pilots - "Vasoline" One time a thing occurred to me
What's real, and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home

Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere...
