Interpretation "Spinning the Wheel" is sung as if to admonish a lover who is out seeking casual encounters with strangers. The singer begins by questioning why it is morning and yet their lover has not returned home. The singer asserts they would rather end the relationship than accept constantly fearing the lover returning with a transmissible infection. The singer equates the behaviour to gambling; one popular form Roulette involves "Spinning the Wheel".
