Woman On The Wheel Lyrics
There�s a man out here puts his head in the mouth of a crocodile
Puts the whole thing in, takes it out and gives the crowd a great big smile
And they walk away with their illusions of safety safely intact
And they tell their little wide eyed kids it�s only an act
There�s a man out here throws knives at a target with a blindfold on
And the wheel spins round and the knives bear down til they find their home
And I can feel the rush and the whoosh of every blade of steel
Cause I am the woman on the wheel
Sometimes i get lonely sometimes i get scared but most times bored
Sometimes i ask god please god just show me just what�s behind that door
As if god was Monty Hall and this was Let�s Make A Deal
And I am the woman on the wheel
Had a sweet little baby in Coeur D�Alene, he was an acrobat
Took me out on the wire man i never knew love could feel like that
But in the end he was a man who couldn�t keep his feet on the ground too long
In the end it�s just another highwire act gone wrong
So it�s on with the show and it�s send in the clowns and the trapeze act
And it�s more of the same and it�s less of a game than a cold hard fact
And most times it�s better not to ask myself how i feel
I�m just the woman on the wheel
I know what you�re thinkin as the knives fly by and they find their mark
You�re thinkin one false move and it�s a real bad day at the amusement park
You wouldn�t wanna be me but you need me just the same
To remind you what you stand to lose and what you stand to gain
They say i�ve got a death wish yeah but I don�t think that�s true
As far as i can see it�s less about me and more about you
You see it ain�t your fears so much as what your fears reveal
I�m just the woman on the wheel
