The Wheel Songtext

von PJ Harvey

A revolving wheel of metal chairs
Hung on chains, squealing
Four little children flying out
A blind man sings in Arabic
Hey little children don't disappear
(I heard it was 28, 000)
Lost upon a revolving wheel
(I heard it was 28, 000)
Now you see them, now you don't
Children vanish ‘hind vehicle
Now you see them, now you don't
Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull
Hey little children don't disappear
(I heard it was 28, 000)
All that's left after a year
(I heard it was 28, 000)
A faded face, the trace of an ear
(I heard it was 28, 000)
A tableau of the missing
Tied to the government building
8, 000 sun-bleached photographs
Faded with the roses
Hey little children don't disappear
(I heard it was 28, 000)
Lost upon a revolving wheel
(I heard it was 28, 000)
All that's left after a year
(I heard it was 28, 000)
A faded face, the trace of an ear
(I heard it was 28, 000)
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade...
