What goes up Must come down Spinning wheel Got to go round I'm talkin' 'bout your troubles It's a crying sin Ride a painted pony Let the spinning wheel spin You got no money You got no home Spinning wheel All alone Talkin' 'bout your troubles And you never learn Ride a painted pony Let the spinning wheel turn Did you find a directing sign? On the straight and narrow highway Would you mind a reflecting sign? Just let it shine Within your mind And show you the colours that are real Someone's waiting Just for you Spinning wheel Spinning true Drop all your troubles On the riverside Catch a painted pony Let the spinning wheel fly Did you find a directing sign? On the straight and narrow highway Would you mind a reflecting sign? Just let it shine Within your mind And show you the colours that are real.
