Kasey Chambers

The Devil's Wheel

Don't put the devil on the wall

He'll drag you like a ball and chain

Don't drain the water from the hole

'Cause the devil's gonna make it rain

Keep your head down low

Boy, you know it's only gonna get worse

At least I'd have let you go

If the devil hadn't got you first

One for the master, one for keeps

One for the little boy who weeps

But you won't go back, needle in a stack

You can't break a rebel's steel

The flame won't die, canyon don't lie

You're spinning with the devil's wheel

Don't call your mother when you cry

Just hang up on the preacher's word

Don't try to tell him no lies

'Cause the devil knows what he heard

Sleep like a fortified child

With a nappy all in your hand

Keep one open wide

Cause the devil's underneath your bed

One for the master, one for the prize

One for the little boy who cries

But you won't go back, needle in a stack

You can't break a rebel's steel

The flame won't die, canyon don't lie

You're spinning with the devil's wheel

The sea is rising, and how does that feel

Yeah, the thunder's rolling, and how does that feel

The lightning's striking, and how does that feel

He gonna take you for a ride on the devil's wheel

The sea is rising (now how does that feel?)

The thunder's rolling (now how does that feel?)

The lightning's striking (now how does that feel?)

He gonna take you for a ride on the devil's wheel

But you won't go back, needle in a stack

You can't break a rebel's steel

The flame won't die, canyon don't lie

You're spinning with the devil's wheel

You won't go back, needle in a stack

You can't break a rebel's steel

The flame won't die, canyon don't lie

You're spinning with the devil's wheel
