Well, I was only a kid - didn't know enough to be afraid
|
Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played
|
Nothing to lose - maybe I had something to trade
|
The way the big wheel spins
|
Well, I was only a kid, on a holy crusade
|
I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made
|
Take no chances on paradise delayed
|
So I do a slow fade
|
Playing for time
|
Don't want to wait for heaven
|
Looking for love
|
For an angel to forgive my sins
|
Playing with fire
|
Chasing something new to believe in
|
Looking for love
|
The way the big wheel spins
|
Well, I was only a kid, cruising around in a trance
|
Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance
|
I was lined up for glory, but the tickets sold out in advance
|
The way the big wheel spins
|
Well, I was only a kid, gone without a backward glance
|
Going for broke, going for another chance
|
Hoping for heaven - hoping for a fine romance
|
If I do the right dance
|
Wheel goes round, landing on a twist of faith
|
Taking your chances you'll have the right answers
|
When the final judgment begins
|
Wheel goes round, landing on a leap of fate
|
Life redirected in ways unexpected
|
Sometimes the odd number wins
|
The way the big wheel spins
|
