In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes

With the freighters towering over me

I can hear the jets flying overhead

Making lines across the darkening sky

And when the sun is going down I can take a taxi into town

And the waiter at the restaurant sets a table just for one

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round

(okay)

So I had a plane to take me to a place so far away from you

Eventually we began to see that we could be completely free

And I could get away from you

And you could get away from me

And we could live each separately in our cities in the sun

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round

(okay)

(alright)

In a cd karaoke bar

By the banks of the mighty Bosphorus

Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing smokets in your eyes

And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians

While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round

(Alright)

(This one right)

(Spinning round)

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round

Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round

(Spinning round)

[Chorus repeats in the background]

(I don't know)

Why you say you are not in love with me

(I don't know)

Why you say you are not in love with me

(I don't know)

Why you say you [music stops] are not in love with me
