Lyrics for Catherine Wheels
No night to stay in Bad moon is rising again Dice rolls And you burn Come down, I fear As that cold wheel turns I know what I know Sad Claude's been sleeping around To stroke the right nerve Whose needs do I serve As Catherine's wheel turns? She was always the first to say, "Gone" She's got her Catherine wheels on Always the first to say, "Gone" Go kindly with him To his blind apparition Whose face creases up With age gone grey He'll be back here one day She was always the first to say, "Gone" She's got her Catherine wheels on Always the first to say, "Gone" She's got her Catherine wheels on Wheels on (ooh) Catherine wheels, Catherine wheels Catherine wheels She's gone Vanished in the night Broke off the logic of light He woke Tore the covers back Found he was empty inside So they were told When the moon would rise The best time to leave with your soul She's gone But towards the light Watching her whole life unfold, oh Bruises come out dark So strong was his hold on her Regarded by some as his slave He spoke as in a stranger's tongue Despair us and drive you away, hey Bruises come out dark
