Cake - Wheels Lyrics






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 seedy karaoke bar
By the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing 'Smoke Gets 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

  8. S.... ....

    Can't believe I'm only discovering Cake now, about 20 years late! Heard The Distance for the first time a few days ago so downloaded Fashion Nugget. I've had it playing none stop since so thought I'd check out some of their other stuff. Haven't been disappointed yet!

    S.... ....

    StevenK08 Same here, they’re quickly becoming one of my faves. Considering getting some merch soon.

  9. W.... E....

    Does anyone else get Hotel California vibes from this, or is it just me?

  10. D.... M....

    Normally I don't like wheels on my cake, but in this case I'll make an exception.

    L.... A....

    Lucas Acevedo Prolonging The Magic is my favorite

    L.... A....

    I agree with Lucas

    L.... A....

    Both are my favorite.

    L.... A....

    I like comfort eagle.

  18. A.... V....

    This song faintly reminds me of The Kinks "Alcohol". Great song!

    A.... V....

    Holy shit I wouldve never thought id find a comment on a CAKE video about the kinks. Theyre my two favorite bands. I dont want to jump to conclusions but youre pretty great dude.

  19. J.... ....

    while the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jump suits
    I haven't traveled abroad much, but when I have, and I've run into other Americans - more often then not that description fits.
    U S A ! U S A ! U S A !

    J.... ....

    Bullshit, but at least you got to shit on America, and that's what's important. Douche.

    J.... ....

    @Wes 76 he was making an observation. i'm pretty sure hes also american. You're the douche here.

  20. A.... J....

    bitches love cake
    -Borgore

    A.... J....

    That song sucks

  21. M.... M....

    Just bought this Album for $11 dollars at my local record shop, apparently no one ever buys any Cake and they only had Pressure Chief and I think that is sad.

    M.... M....

    This is a good band ,,don’t know what people want,,

    M.... M....

    You’re lucky. CAKE vinyls are worth $100s

    M.... M....

    Maybe it's cuz the other ones are so popular they keep flying off the shelves and they can't keep them in stock

    M.... M....

    Picked up Comfort Eagle at Goodwill for $2.52

    M.... M....

    @C- FOR outdated format my guy
