I'm A Wheel Lyrics
Oh, hold on
You risk exciting me
Once in Germany someone said nein
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
Oh, hold back
Oh, don't invite me
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
Once in Germany someone said nein
I'm a wheel
I will
Turn on you
Oh, I invented a sister
Populated with knives
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
I'm a wheel
I will
Turn on you
Um...
I'm a wheel
I will
I'm a wheel
I will
I'm a wheel
I will
Turn on you
I'm gonna turn on you, turn on you
Turn on you, turn on you, turn on you
I'm gonna turn on you, turn on you
Turn on you, turn on you, turn on you
I'm gonna turn on you, turn on you, turn on you
You risk exciting me
Once in Germany someone said nein
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
Oh, don't invite me
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
Once in Germany someone said nein
I will
Turn on you
Populated with knives
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
I will
Turn on you
I will
I will
I will
Turn on you
Turn on you, turn on you, turn on you
Turn on you, turn on you, turn on you

deep lyrics.
such a rockin' song
fun shit to sing drunk to.
pretty bad lyrics by jeff tweedy's standards but it's still one of the best songs from 'a ghost is born'. rockin.
this song is catchy and awesome!
jeff tweedy's lyrics are by and large pretty fantastic after being there... i think this song (and album) is a great example of wilco not necessarily playing to their professed strengths like they'd be expected to after an album like yhf. the boys can still rock, it seems.
i agree w/ wilcokid 1005, fuckin great song
Michaelsee, I'd encourage you to check out Kicking Television (you may have already). This song's not on there, but it shows that A Ghost is Born was really just the groundwork for an amazing live band--the band they have now become.
i agree with michaelsee, especially cuz i think jeff singing "i will turn on you" signifies that he's going to do what he wants as opposed to what's expected of him from fans and critics
I always thought he was saying "I invented a cistern, I'll populate it with knives" not that that would make much more sense.
