Catherine Wheels

Musik: Père Lachaise
Text: Rüdiger Meyer


There's a small flat at the harbour
And a young man in a room.
There's an aircraft flying over,
Seems it's travelling to the noon.

He' s thinking of the future.
He' s thinking of the past.
As he falls asleep, he Starts to live
Through the scene, he thought at last.

He nearly drowned his sorrows
In a bottle of Jim Beam.
But the more he drank, he noticed
His sorrows they learned to swim.

He starts to move in circles,
And then his running feet
Produced a monumental sound,
That's the sound of speed.

Catherine wheels, Catherine wheels,
Catherine wheels, Catherine wheels,
Spinnig 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round.
And with a furious sound,
I start to fly so high that I could cry.

Eventually in ecstasy
He's spinning off the ground.
Surprisingly pink elephants
Are here to be found.
Approaching step by step.
They're marching in his head.
Walking up too late, he was
Trampled, squeezed and dead.

Catherine wheels, Catherine wheels,
Catherine wheels, Catherine wheels,

Spinning 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round.
And with a furious sound,
I start to fly so high that I could cry.
