Rush - The Big Wheel

Not one of my favorites (it's one of the 50 or so Rush tracks that I rate with 3 stars of fewer in rhythmbox), but I've repeated it a few times... another track breaking through?

Well I was only a kid, didn't know not be afraid

Playing that game, not the way the big boys played

Nothing to lose, maybe I had something to trade

The way the big wheel spins

Well I was only a kid, on a holy crusade

I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made

Take no chances on paradise delayed

So I do a slow fade

Playing for time, don't want to wait for heaven

Looking for love, or an angel to forgive my sins

Playing with fire, chasing something new to believe in

Looking for love, the way the big wheel spins

Well I was only a kid, cruising 'round in a trance

Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance

I was lined up for glory, but the tickets sold out in advance

The way the big wheel spins

Well I was only a kid, gone without a backward glance

Going for broke, going for another chance

Hoping for heaven, hoping for a fine romance

If I do the right dance

The wheel goes round, landing on a twist of fate

Taking your chances you'll have the right answers

When the final judgment begins

The wheel goes round, landing on a leap of faith

Life redirected in ways unexpected

Sometimes the odd number wins

The way the big wheel spins
