Round and round
The wheel turns round.

Whose turn is it to spin?
Where will it stop?

What will be the theme tonight?
What will we fight about?

Round and round
The wheel turns round.

I’m tired of this game.
I want off this ride.

Can’t we stop now?
Do you really want to go again?

Round and round
The wheel turns round.

This game is tiring me out.
I don’t have the energy for this.

How can we keep this up?
Night after night we play this game.

Round and round
The wheel turns round.

Have we covered everything yet?
Are we done fighting yet?

Round and round
The wheel turns round.

Another fight
Another day.

We can’t keep going like this.
It’s going to tear us apart.

Round and round
The wheel turns round.

One of these days
We are going to fall.
