This is your city
Where you hide from the sun
You keep track of lightning
And shadows on the run
The city’s waiting
Night is falling on the park
Too long in the city
Waiting for a change of heart
It’s such a pity
That you can’t see the stars
Working out obsessions
In the back seat of a car
Oh, life
Is a big wheel, and it’s rolling over you

People passing through
Staring out of machines
Strangers gone steady
With girls you used to see
You’ve heard of loving
You can try to relate
You know the music
But you’re moving too late
It’s easy loving
When it don’t have to last
It’s easy loving
If you don’t have a past
Oh, life
Is a big wheel, and it’s rolling over you

Days in the city
Don’t make a happy man
Guns for your money
Get the rings off your hand
Money comes easy
But it can’t buy a dream
Pleasure kinda hurts
When taken to extremes
It’s easy loving
When it don’t have to last
It’s easy living
When it don’t have a past
Oh, life
Is a big wheel, and it’s rolling over you
