John Lennon - Double Fantasy - 08 - Watching The Wheels

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

this album really grows on me

[aaandrew1]

We miss you John! You are truly missed like no other!

@aeodfw I will never forget the day he died. A bit of my fantasy died that day as well. Want to know who really killed John Lennon? The Woodstock Conspiracy - Trilogy. Google it.

@OnyxOfMadness John did not really believe in heaven but I am sure he would appreciate your admiration. The Beatles: Behind Closed Doors.

i know whitney loved ballads

[michaelmcglinchey96]

i know whitney houston did an album in 2009 and did a world tour afterwards which she struggled through. i think if she sang this song before it all she would have retired and watch her daughter grow up

[OnyxOfMadness]

I don't really like Yoko as a singer but I respect her for John who loved her for his own reasons that no one really understood. John because YOUR UP IN HEAVEN i hope you get the messages from all your fans. Your short 40 year life was amazing, although i wish it was longer. Two things for sure are you had an amazing accomplishment being the most famous person in the world in your short life. Second thing is you will ALWAYS be in my heart and no matter how old you and me get LOVE ALWAYS- SILAS<3

@Jhensy2012 John often did this in his career, and sometimes he'd come clean in public about it. He'd also pickup his old songs and work them under new perspectives. But in all those cases what mattered were the lyrics which he found that would fit better on other songs by rearranging them.

[aeodfw]

The world is a smaller place without you boy. Never further than my heart and spirit. Peace, always brother.
