The Wheel

(album: Another Live - 1975)

Some people say life's like a merry-go-round
I think it's more like a Ferris wheel
'Cause sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
Sometimes you just don't know what to feel

And just when you think you've got the game figured out
And you say you've had enough
The mysterious mad man with his hand on the lever
Don't seem to never ever want to let you off

You can't get off this wheel of karma
You can't stop the hands of time
You can't get off this wheel of karma
You can't stop the hands of time

Now I have a friend, I might have a few
Sometimes I think they just don't care
But I think sometimes they think the same thing of me, yeah yeah yeah
You might say we've got a problem there

'Cause you know we all got this habit we like to talk too much
And that always tends to slow you down
But we never change direction, no no no no
We just keep going round and round and round and round

And let me off this wheel of karma
Let me stop the hands of time
Let me off this wheel of karma
Let me stop the hands, stop the hands of time

Seems like I've been around, yeah yeah yeah, so many places yeah yeah
And I must have learned a lot of things
And although I ain't yet come up with a so-called answer
At least I think I finally learned how to sing

And there's just a few things I ain't got sorted out
Sometimes they make my brain get sore
Like if kids were left of all devices, yeah yeah yeah
Would they ever come up with a thing like war

Let us off this wheel of karma
Let us stop the hands, stop the hands of time

Let us off this wheel of karma
Let us stop the hands, stop the hands of time

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop (let us stop) the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop the hands (let us stop) the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop (let us stop) let us stop the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop (let us stop) the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop the hands (let us stop) stop the hands, the hands of time now (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma, yeah (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop (let us stop) the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop (let us stop) the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off (let us off) this wheel of karma (this wheel of karma)
Let us stop (let us stop) the hands of time (the hands of time)

Let us off this wheel of karma
Let us stop the hands, stop the hands of time
Let us off this wheel of karma
Let us stop the hands, stop the hands of time
Let us off this wheel of karma
Let us stop the hands, stop the hands now, stop the hands, hands of time
Let us off this wheel of karma, yeah
Let us stop the hands of time
Let us off this wheel of karma
Let us stop the hands, stop the hands of time yeah yeah
Let us off this wheel of, off this wheel, wheel of karma
Let us stop, let us stop the hands of time
