Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
[Verse 2]
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!
[Verse 3]
If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you knew that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
[Verse 4]
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!
[Verse 5]
If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done
And after ev'ry plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we should meet again
If your memory served you well
[Verse 6]
This wheel's on fire
It's rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
That this wheel shall explode!
