|
In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes |
|
With the freighters towering over me |
|
I can hear the jets flying overhead |
|
Making lines across the darkening sky |
|
And when the sun is going down |
|
I can take a taxi into town |
|
And the waiter at the restaurant |
|
Sets a table just for oneWheels keep on spinning round |
|
spinning round, spinning round |
|
Wheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round and roundOkaySo I had a plane to take me to |
|
A place so far away from you |
|
Eventually we began to see |
|
That we could be completely free |
|
And I could get away from you |
|
And you could get away from me |
|
And we could live each separately |
|
In our cities in the sunWheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round, spinning round |
|
Wheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round and roundHey hey |
|
Okay, alrightIn a seedy karaoke bar |
|
By the banks of the mighty Bosphorus |
|
Is a Japanese man in a business suit |
|
Singing, smoke gets in your eyes |
|
And the muscular cyborg German dudes |
|
Dance with sexy French-Canadians |
|
While the overweight Americans |
|
Wear their patriotic jumpsuitsWheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round, spinning round |
|
Wheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round and roundAlright, hey |
|
It's alright, hey |
|
This one right, heyWheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round, spinning round |
|
Wheels keep on spinning round |
|
Spinning round and round |
|
I don't know |
|
Why you say you are not in love with me? |
