The Wheel's Turning - Steve Hackett

The roller coaster groaned

Like a galleon on the ever-changing tide

We jumped on to the back

Of a silver-tailed monster ride

Pink and grey gave way every night

To a neon paradise

As the wheel’s turning a film starts to play

Of all the ones who just got away

Swallowed by the grotto’s mouth

Crossing over lava burning red

With eyes wide as fruit machines

We tried to knock the lady out of bed

Sirens echo a darker time

Devil riders flying blind

As the wheel’s turning a film starts to play

Of all the ones who just got away

Pink and grey gave way every night

Devil riders flying blind

As the wheel’s turning a film starts to play

Of all the ones who just got away
