It don't much seem to matter how the evenings go
For that mornin' sun comes slowly along
The day brings back the distance and wipes the mood away
Like all the stars who couldn't stay after the dawn.

And I'm like a wheel on a wire
Burnin' along the track
Travelin' too fast for lookin' back
And I can't see.

One more cup of coffee in a ragged afternoon
Seeing the sun beneath the moon I drift away
And out among the shadows, the passion comes to rise
In all the pairs of hungry eyes whose glances stray.

And I'm like a wheel on a wire
Burnin' along the track
Travelin' too fast for lookin' back
And I can't see.

I feel like a wheel on a wire
Speedin' beyond control
Bated and breathless I feel my soul
Spin out of me...
