Lyrics for This Wheel's On Fire

If your memory serves you well We're going to meet again and wait So I'm going to unpack all my things And sit before it gets too late No man alive will come to you With another tale to tell And you know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well, I was going to confiscate your lace And wrap it up in a sailor's knot and hide it in your case If I knew for sure that it was yours, and it was oh so hard to tell And you know that we shall meet again if your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well, you'll remember that you're the one Who called on them to call on me to get you your favours done And after every plan had failed and there was nothing more to tell And you know that we shall meet again if your memory serves you well This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode
