The Big Wheel

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