The Big Wheel Lyrics - Roll The Bones - Rush

Well I was only a kid, didn't know enough to be afraid 

Playing the game, but not the way the big boys played 

Nothing to lose, maybe I had something to trade 

The way the big wheel spins. 

Well I was only a kid on a holy crusade 

I placed no trust in a faith that was ready made 

Take no chances on a paradise delayed 

So I do a slow fade. 

Playing for time, don't want to wait for heaven 

Looking for love, for an angel to forgive my sins 

Playing with fire, chasing something new to believe in 

Looking for love, the way the big wheel spins. 

Well I was only a kid, cruising around in a trance 

Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance 

I was lined up for glory, but the tickets sold out in advance 

The way the big wheel spins

Well I was only a kid, gone without a backward glance 

Going for broke, going for another chance 

Hoping for heaven, hoping for a fine romance 

If I do the right dance. 

Playing for time, don't want to wait for heaven 

Looking for love, for an angel to forgive my sins 

Playing with fire, chasing something new to believe in 

Looking for love, the way the big wheel spins. 

Wheel goes round, landing on a twist of faith 

Taking your chances you'll have the right answers 

When the final judgement begins. 

Wheel goes round, landing on a leap of fate 

Life redirected in ways unexpected 

Sometimes the odd number wins 

The way the big wheel spins.
