There's a man out here puts his head in the mouth of a crocodile |
| [00:19.54] |
Puts the whole thing in, takes it out and gives the crowd a great big smile |
| [00:25.97] |
And they walk away with their illusions of safety safely intact |
| [00:32.47] |
And they tell their little wide eyed kids it's only an act |
| [00:39.16] |
There's a man out here throws knives at a wheel with a blindfold on |
| [00:44.04] |
|
| [00:45.77] |
And the wheel spins round and the knives bear down 'til they find their home |
| [00:52.59] |
And I can feel the rush and the whoosh of every blade of steel |
| [01:00.34] |
'Cause I am the woman on the wheel |
| [01:06.15] |
Sometimes I get lonely sometimes I get scared but most times bored |
| [01:12.65] |
Sometimes I ask God please God just show me just what's behind that door |
| [01:19.27] |
As if God was Monty Hall and this was let's make a deal |
| [01:22.71] |
|
| [01:26.71] |
And I am the woman on the wheel |
| [01:45.51] |
Had a sweet little baby in Coeur d'Alene, he was an acrobat |
| [01:52.21] |
Took me out on the wire man I never knew love could feel like that |
| [01:58.89] |
But in the end he was a man who couldn't keep his feet on the ground too long |
| [02:05.58] |
In the end it's just another high-wire act gone wrong |
| [02:12.02] |
So it's on with the show and it's send in the clowns and the trapeze act |
| [02:17.08] |
|
| [02:18.87] |
And it's more of the same and it's less of a game than a cold hard fact |
| [02:25.87] |
And most times it's better not to ask myself how I feel |
| [02:32.43] |
I'm just the woman on the wheel |
| [03:22.06] |
I know what you're thinkin' as the knives fly by and they find their mark |
| [03:28.74] |
You're thinkin' one false move and it's a real bad day at the amusement park |
| [03:35.31] |
You wouldn't wanna be me but you need me just the same |
| [03:42.06] |
To remind you what you stand to lose and what you stand to gain |
| [03:49.18] |
They say I've got a death wish yeah but I don't think that's true |
| [03:55.68] |
As far as I can see it's less about me and more about you |
| [04:02.19] |
You see it ain't your fears so much as what your fears reveal |
| [04:06.00] |
|
| [04:09.95] |
I'm just the woman on the wheel |
| [04:14.46] |
