Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round  
As it skims along with a happy sound  
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground  
Till it leads you to the one you love

If you’re gone maybe it’s time to come home  
There’s an awful lot of breathing room but I can hardly move  
If you’re gone, baby, you need to come home  
There’s a little bit of something me in everything in you

She’s gone, oh why, oh why  
I better learn how to face it  
She’s gone, oh why, oh why  
I’d pay the devil to replace her

The devil bowed his head  
Because he knew that he’d been beat  
And he laid that golden fiddle  
On the ground at Johnny’s feet

The Fiddle will play loud and clear  
Rip up all your underwear  
Hypnotized like a mad man’s eye  
You can’t run away

Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow  
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em on the floor  
Dance in the kitchen 'til the morning light,  
Louisiana Saturday night!

I’m your wicked Uncle Ernie  
I’m glad you won’t see or hear me  
As I fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about!  
Your mother left me here to mind you  
Now I’m doing what I want to  
Fiddling about, fiddling about, fiddle about!

A troubled heart knows no peace  
A dark and poisoned pool  
Of liberty now lost  
A pawn an oppressor’s tool

Boys and girls go to the school  
And girls they make children  
Not like this one

I was of a feeling it was out of control  
[Perfect openings this morning for not one but two songs off of that U2 album. Nice…]

Electric dreams, nobody shows  
When you touch my skin, the feeling is electric
