Spin The Wheel - Dorsey

Well I read the newsprint,

I strained my eyes,

I thought I was going blind.

Trouble, there’s trouble again,

And I don’t remember when it began.

I hung a lantern from my porch,

I saw the lights of the fair,

The Ferris wheel spun,

And it dangled like a spider web on the air

As slow lights pass in the sky.

I’ve been spinning the wheel, spinning for a fade.

I can’t take the face of this masquerade.

I took myself to town with the change

I’d been able to keep from the bank.

I spent it at the fair,

To feel as I did in the old days.

It’s a shame, I’d say I’m always remembering yesterday.

Cold, cold, cold times found me in a strange way.

And I can’t help but think, what’s become of me?

And even when I’m gone, you’d better carry on.
