Lyrics for This Wheel's on Fire

If your memory serves you well We were 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 comfort you With another tale to tell You know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well 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 But it was, oh, so hard to tell You know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well Wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode If your memory serves you well Then you'll remember you're the one Who called on them to call on him To get you your favors done But after every plan had failed There was nothing more to tell You know that we shall meet again If your memory serves you well Wheel's on fire Rolling down the road Best notify my next of kin This wheel shall explode
