Stop the Wheel

He's getting married on the wednesday
But h was buried on the monday
And his girlfriend is due in three weeks
And she's my cousin

Her mother went off the rails
And started praying that this child
Would have straight teeth

My car got broken into
Don't seem to dream like I used to
And the wind was crazy in a wild place last night

I couldn't sleep
So I stayed up worrying
And I prayed everyone I loved was alright

We cannot stop the wheel
We cannot stop the wheel
From turning

We cannot stop the wheel
We cannot stop the wheel
So let's just enjoy the ride

Well I admit
Some people make me nervous
The one's who've stopped scaring the hell out of themselves
And you see them claiming to be wild and free
Holding their young grey hearts in their hands

Sweet boy press your hand against my lips
You got to stop me trying to make sense of it all
And whisper
I'll race you to the edge
And we'll open up our arms and just fall

We cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel
From turning

We cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel
So let's just enjoy the ride

Cannot stop the wheel
Embrace the down side
Follow the landslide

Embrace the down side
Follow the landslide

Embrace the down side
Follow your landslide

And just enjoy the ride
Cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel
