The Wheel Lyrics - The Hope Six Demolition Project - Pj Harvey

A revolving wheel of metal chairs 

Hung on chains, squealing 

Four little children flying out 

A blind man sings in Arabic 

Hey little children don't disappear 

(I heard it was twenty-eigth thousand) 

Lost upon a revolving wheel 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

Now you see them, now you don't 

Children vanish 'hind vehicle 

Now you see them, now you don't 

Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull 

Hey little children don't disappear 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

All that's left after a year 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

A faded face, the trace of an ear 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

A tableau of the missing 

Tied to the government building 

Eight thousand sun-bleached photographs 

Faded with the roses 

Hey little children don't disappear 

(I heard it was twenty-eigth thousand) 

Lost upon a revolving wheel 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

All that's left after a year 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

A faded face, the trace of an ear 

(I heard it was twenty-eight thousand) 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade out 

And watch them fade
