The Wheel

Break ’em on the wheel.
Break ’em on the wheel.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.

Minute hand
in the butcher shop –
Tick tick tick.
Chop chop chop.

Turn.
Turn by turn.

Break ’em on the wheel.
Break ’em on the wheel.

Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.

Rich man, poor man,
beggarman, thief –
don’t need sense
when you’ve got belief.

Turn by turn.

Pull from the left,
pull from the right.
Middle will only
get so tight.

Turn.
Turn by turn.

Break ’em on the wheel.
Break ’em on the wheel.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.

Four-and-twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie.
Speech for a tooth,
Sight for an eye.

Turn.
Turn by turn.

Break ’em on the wheel.
Break ’em on the wheel.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
Turn by turn.
