Lyrics

The Big Wheel

For desire I come running like a man on fire
I walk the high wire with you
It’s all a haze, but I’m drawn to all your crazy ways
I am set ablaze
Smoke and mirrors still define you
No, you haven’t changed a bit
I come ‘round again to find you
Sitting in the thick of it
Still, I must admit you light me
You excite me and ignite
And I can’t walk away
Let the chips fall where they may

Time and time again we hear those violins
And we take another spin on the big wheel
Now we’re both covered in sweat
And it’s not wearing thin yet
We’re loving how it feels to spin the big wheel

Lost and found, we will turn this whole world upside down
Yes, I’ll go round and round with you
Kinda love, but it’s the madness that I’m thinking of
It’s the push and shove
We survive on second chances
Living in the here and now
Never mind the consequences, they don’t matter anyhow
Only our desire binds us; madness finds us and reminds us
That we can’t walk away
Let the chips fall where they may

So, time and time again we hear those violins
And we take another spin on the big Wheel
Now we’re both covered in sweat
And it’s not wearing thin yet
We’re loving how it feels to spin the big wheel

Time and time again we hear those violins
And we take another spin on the big Wheel
Now we’re both covered in sweat
And it’s not wearing thin yet
We’re loving how it feels to spin the big wheel

Time and time again, we spin the big wheel
Time and time again, we spin the big wheel
