Wheels on fire
Why don't you
Tell me lies
You ought to
Wheels on fire
Why don't you say goodbye

Well there's a light
And there's a hope
Come swing me baby
From this here rope
I sold you a lie
And prayed that maybe
Someday you'd return it
Lord knows I've earnt it

I keep finding words that leave you – I told you I don't mind
Something tells me I'm not meant to – I told you I don't mind
I keep finding words that leave you

Wheels on fire
Why don't you
Tell me lies
You ought to
Wheels on fire
Why don't you say goodbye

Well there's a light
And there's a hope
Come swing me baby
From this here rope
I sold you a lie
And preyed that maybe
Someday you'd return it
Lord knows I've earnt it

I keep finding words that leave you – I told you I don't mind
Something tells me I'm not meant to – I told you I don't mind
I keep finding words that leave you

Wheels on fire
Why don't you
Tell me lies
You ought to
Wheels on fire
Why don't you say goodbye [x4]
