In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes

With the freighters towering over me

I can hear the jets flying overhead

Making lines across the darkening sky

And when the sun is going down

I can take a taxi into town

And the waiter at the restaurant

Sets a table just for one

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round and 'round

Okay

So I had a plane to take me to

A place so far away from you

Eventually, we began to see

That we could be completely free

And I could get away from you

And you could get away from me

And we could live each separately

In our cities in the sun

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round and 'round

Okay

Alright

In a seedy karaoke bar

By the banks of the mighty Bosphorus

Is a Japanese man in a business suit

Singing "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

And the muscular cyborg German dudes

Dance with sexy French-Canadians

While the overweight Americans

Wear their patriotic jumpsuits

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round and 'round

Alright, hey

It's alright, hey

This one, right, hey

Spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round

I don't know

Spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round and 'round

I don't know

Spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round

I don't know

Why you say you are not in love with me?

Spinning 'round

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round and 'round

Why you say you are not in love with me?

I don't know

Spinning 'round

Why you say you are not in love with me?

Wheels keep on spinning 'round, spinning 'round spinning 'round

I don't know

Spinning 'round

Why you say you are not in love with me?

Wheels keep on spinning 'round

I don't know
