Under the Wheels - The Damned

Torn, reckless I’m born

Sent here to fall

Under another spell, blindly

Green, sacrifice me

Float down the stream

Over the waterfall, send me

Smiling faces through the ages, animated, innocently

Ever waiting, turning the pages slow

Desperation ups the stakes onto the table, holding aces

Never pays while ever romancing gold

Under the skin I crawl

But under the wheels I fall

Bleed colours of green

Misguided needs

Down with the dogs I feed

Craving sleep

Hypnotise me

Poison my dreams

You rape my memories, gently

Smiling faces through the ages, animated, innocently

Ever waiting, turning the pages slow

Desperation ups the stakes onto the table, holding aces

Never pays while ever romancing gold

Under the skin I crawl

But under the wheels I fall

Under the wheels I fall

Under the skin I’m crawling

Smiling faces through the ages, animated, innocently

Ever waiting, turning the pages slow

Desperation ups the stakes onto the table, holding aces

Never pays while ever romancing gold

Under the skin I crawl

But under the wheels I fall

Under the skin I’m crawling

Under the wheels I…

Under the wheels I… fall
