Stop the Wheel
(lyrics by Gemma Hayes)

He was getting married on the Wednesday
but he was buried on the Monday,
and his girlfriend is due in 3 weeks,
she's my cousin,
my 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 and wild last night,
I couldn't sleep so I stayed up worrying
praying that 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 from turning,
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,
you see them claiming to be wild and free
holding their young grey hearts in their hands,
sweet boy, place your hand against my lips,
you gotta 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,
we cannot stop the wheel from turning,
we cannot stop the wheel,
we cannot stop the wheel from turning,
so let's just enjoy the ride
Embrace the downside,
follow the landslide, embrace the downside,
follow the landslide, and just enjoy the ride

My sweet prayers
They aint doing nothing
My sweet prayers
They aint doing no good

And my heart is heavy
My head is sore
From my life turning
My sweet prayers
They aint doing nothing

My sweet prayers
They aint doing nothing
My sweet prayers
They aint doing no good

And my heart is heavy
My head is sore
From my life turning
My sweet prayers
They aint doing no good
