Wheels - Northcote

New Year’s Day

I go to the store to get coins for the machine

The only place that’s open on the street

When the news came in about the death in the family

I’m scanning all the items in the aisle

Preserved by my resolution

My mind turns off and I expire

Now I’m disappearing into thin air

Where only you can see me

And everybody knows

That things like this never end well

And so the story goes

'cause only you can see me

And everybody’s talking about how

Going out, constantly spinning our wheels

See the more we

And, oh, would you look at the timing

Broken strings and the hum of the night

Your dreams are bleeding all over my skin

My body is in a city that I’ll never see again

Because I said goodbye, I said goodnight

But I wanted a little more of that sweet life

Where only you can see me

And everybody knows

That things like this never end well

And so the story goes

'cause only you can see me

And everybody’s talking about how

Going out, constantly spinning our wheels
