A little love and attention is all he needs
But that girl was just a little tough to please.
Disappointing chemicals disturb his sleep
and a red balloon is hanging over him
She smoked him like a cigarette
And then she vaped him when it was time quit
Now he’s tired, depressed, he stays in bed
He couldn’t sleep with all the voices in his head
until the best one said
There’s good new coming out of Fortuna
There’s such good news
She’s got a new attitude
Don’t need a number to see her
She’s in a fantastic mood
And song that she’s singing
It’s never beaucoup de blues
There’s good news coming out of Fortuna
There’s such good news
Oh he never can lose
If he don’t feel like winner
You know she really don’t care
If he’ll confess he’s a sinner
She’ll give him time to prepare
Spinning Wheel, why are you calling me
There’s good news coming out of Fortuna
There’s such good news for you
Oh she’ll never refuse
She already needs him
And thinking miles ahead
As he prepares for the evening
He’ll take the couch instead
Spinning Wheel, why are you calling me?
