The world keeps spinning 'round

Spinning while you sleep

Flying 'way the minutes

Minutes never keep

Wheels turning on ahead

Turning by so fast

Time is on no one's side

Nothing never lasts



On and on and on, on and on

WORLD ON A WING

Pay the piper, he'll soon be gone

WORLD ON A WING



The world keeps turning 'round

Turning in a dance

Moving never stopping

Are there any accidents?

Clocks turning on ahead

I take no faith in luck

Everything will pass someday

Always in a flux



On and on and on, on and on

WORLD ON A WING

Pay the piper, he'll soon be gone

WORLD ON A WING
