Crowded House Catherine Wheels Lyrics

Catherine Wheels Lyrics

No night to stay in

bad moon is rising again

dice rolls

and 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



Go kindly with him

to his blind apparition

his face creases up

with age gone grey

he'll 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



She's gone

vanished in the night

broke off the logic of light

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

but towards the light

watching her whole life unfold

bruises come out dark



So strong was his hold on her

regarded by some as his slave

he spoke as in a stranger's tongue

despair us and drive you away

bruises come out dark
