He's getting married on the wednesday
But h was buried on the monday
And his girlfriend is due in three weeks

And she's my cousin
Her mother went off the rails
And started praying that this child

Would have straight teeth
My car got broken into
Don't seem to dream like I used to

And the wind was crazy in a wild place last night
I couldn't sleep
So I stayed up worrying

And I prayed everyone I loved was alright
We cannot stop the wheel
We cannot stop the wheel

From turning
We cannot stop the wheel
We cannot stop the wheel

So let's just enjoy the ride
Well I admit
Some people make me nervous

The one's who've stopped scaring the hell out of themselves
And you see them claiming to be wild and free
Holding their young grey hearts in their hands

Sweet boy press your hand against my lips
You got to stop me trying to make sense of it all
And whisper

I'll race you to the edge
And we'll open up our arms and just fall
We cannot stop the wheel

Cannot stop the wheel
From turning
We cannot stop the wheel

Cannot stop the wheel
So let's just enjoy the ride
Cannot stop the wheel

Embrace the down side
Follow the landslide
Embrace the down side

Follow the landslide
Embrace the down side
Follow your landslide

And just enjoy the ride
Cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel

Cannot stop the wheel
Cannot stop the wheel
