[00:13.22]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].
