Wheel of the World

from Smaller Print EP by Thom Carter

/

lyrics

A newcomer to the scene,
With a wide-open eye for anything,
The kind I used to be,
Before the wheel of the world got into me.

Oh, The wheel of the world got into me,
Oh, The wheel of the world got into me.

Come on around,
I’m paralysed by your purity,
Take all that I know,
And make it seem obscure to me,

Take all that I know,
And rub it out and set me free,
Take all that I know,
With your innocence and naivety,


The arc of my thoughts has come fully ‘round,
I feel to you nothing but a stranger now,
Give me what you can – some medicine to fill the gap,
I don’t need a dealer a doctor – I’m just a lonely man


The breadcrumbs that you leave,
Don’t make me feel in love with you,
I’ve seen all your tricks
Though I used them myself, I’ll say no more,

I can’t stop the war,
That burns in me against my will,
What would my lover say?
Oh, unrequited love is hell,

And the will of the world,
The wheel of the world’s got into me,
The wheel of the world,
The wheel of the world won’t set me free,
The wheel of the world,
The wheel of the world got into me
The wheel of the world,
The wheel of the world got into me.
