23:37No man alive will come to you with another tale to tell what you knew that we would meet again
23:51if your memory served you well.
23:54There's wheels on fire, rolling down the road.
24:06Let me know if I'm a heck of a kid or this wheel shall explode.
24:16If your memory served you well, I would love to confiscate your place.
24:25And wrap it up in a sailing knot and hide it in your cage.
24:34If I knew for sure that it was yours, but it was oh so hard to tell.
24:42But you knew that we wouldn't meet again if your memory served you well.
24:51There's wheels on fire, rolling down the road.
25:02Let me know if I'm a heck of a kid or this wheel shall explode.
25:17If your memory served you well, you'll remember you're the one.
25:25You'll call on me to call on me to call on them.
25:31To get you your favor, God.
25:35And lift it up every planet rail with nothing more to tell.
25:42You knew that we would meet again if your memory served you well.
25:53There's wheels on fire, rolling down the road.
26:02Let me know if I'm a heck of a kid or this wheel shall explode.
26:31But nothing's in let alone be.
26:33Let me know if I can't.
