Catherine Wheels Songtext

von Crowded House

No night to stay in
Bad moon is rising again
Dice rolls, you burn
Come down, I fear
As that cold wheel turns
I know what I know
Sad Claude's been sleeping around
To stroke the right nerve
Whose needs do I serve
As Catherine's wheel turns?

She was always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on

Go kindly with him
To his blind apparition
Whose face creases up with age gone grey
You'll be back here one day

She was always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her Catherine wheels on, wheels on

Catherine wheels
Catherine wheels
Catherine wheels

She's gone, vanished in the night
Broke off the logic of life
He woke, tore the covers back
Found he was empty inside
So they were told when the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul

She's gone up towards the light
Watching her whole life unfold
Bruises come up dark
So strong was his hold on her
Regarded by some as his slave
He spoke in a stranger's tongue
To spare us and drive you away
Bruises come up dark
