Hop on the ferris wheel and look down laughing at the spinning city lights The steering wheel is warm and there's no map for where we're going tonight Spin the roulette and watch the colors fall like pinwheels catching afternoon The hamster wheel can wait because tonight we roll beneath a rolling moon Every wheel was made to turn and every heart still has something left to learn Don't be afraid to let the axle burn Come on ride the wheel, let the ferris take you high Feel the world below you, spinning up against the sky Round and round and round until it's real Life is just a wheel and it's beautiful The waterwheel turns slowly and the potter shapes whatever the clay will be The wheel of fortune lands on every name but how you spin it sets you free No need to reinvent the wheel just paint it bright and take it for a ride The flywheel keeps the momentum going long after you've enjoyed the slide Every wheel was made to turn and every heart still has something left to learn Don't be afraid to let the axle burn Come on ride the wheel, let the ferris take you high Feel the world below you, spinning up against the sky Round and round and round until it's real Life is just a wheel and it's beautiful They say don't reinvent the wheel but nobody said you couldn't paint it bright and celebrate it The gear turns the gear turns the gear and that's exactly how music works and how love starts A wheel inside a wheel inside a perfectly ordinary day Everything is circular so you might as well play Come on ride the wheel, let the ferris take you high Feel the world below you, spinning up against the sky Round and round and round until it's real Life is just a wheel
