LYRIC FOR SALE

Spinning wheel
By Wilhelmina Scott [Joanie Strydom]

[Verse]
With every push of a button
We dare to dream
A synthetic rush
A glittering scheme
Four or five glasses
Fogging our minds
Cigarettes linger
Like secrets unrefined

[Chorus]
Building intensity
Hearts out of control
In the spin of the wheel
We lose our soul
We sit in our boredom
A flicker of light
Wasting our moments in endless late nights

[Verse 2]
Neon reflections
They dance on our skin
Chasing illusions
We’ll never begin
A carousel turning
With nowhere to go
The faster we spin
The less we know

[Bridge]
(Ooh-yeah!) Lights are flashing
Pulling us in
(Ooh-yeah!) Hearts are racing
We can’t begin
We’re caught in a cycle
We can’t escape
(Ooh-yeah!) A hollow rhythm
A mirrored shape

[Chorus]
Building intensity
Hearts out of control
In the spin of the wheel
We lose our soul
We sit in our boredom
A flicker of light
Wasting our moments in endless late nights

[Verse 3]
Spinning in circles
Lost in the haze
Time slips away in this glowing maze
We’re chasing a feeling
But it’s out of sight
Caught in the current of synthetic nights
