The Wheel (Is Turning Now) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"He held my hand when I died
He told me all I could ask"
"The politician bleats so blind
With his hard hat on rotating in a circle
Gimme some rosacea, nicotine to stain ya"
Boys on the altar waiting to be crushed

[Pre Chorus]
(You wanna know)
But as he takes the stage I'm gone
Oh what the hell is all this?

[Chorus]
Oh is it in the way he calls your name?
Or is it in the way he prays for rain?
The wheel is turning now
It's really turning now

[Break]
Bone, to the blade, my letter! White feather! No halves!
Dread! What the devil said! My prison, my prison, my guard!
[Verse 2]
"He laid his hands upon me
He dug a hole in my life"

The terror and the old blood screech
"When you mix those colours something's gonna happen
I don't wanna see them, I don't wanna know them"
I spasm on the floor and wait for it to end

[Pre Chorus]
(You wanna know)
But as he throws the crutches down
Eleven thousand knees bent
Let them know you're coming
[Chorus]
Oh is it in the way he calls your name?
Or is it in the way he makes you pray?
The wheel is turning now
It's really turning now

[Outro](x2)
Do you wanna know how far you've come?
Do you wanna know how far you've come?
Do you have any idea?
Do you have any idea?
