While Johnston was absent for most of the sessions, he contributed one song – “Turn It Loose” – as well as back-up vocals and duet vocals with Simmons on “Wheels of Fortune”. “I hadn’t quit the band”, he later stated. “I just wasn’t physically able to do it. I needed to get off the road and get away...
Caught up in wheels of fortune while you've been asleep
Come on, give it up, you got what's comin' to you
No use for you to struggle, now you're in too deep
It's gonna be a long, long time before it's through
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here it's gone
I'm so tired of losin'
But I still play the game
And I know there's no reason
Still I go on searchin' just the same
Well, I've kicked around your city, seen your vanity
Mister Society, can you hear me
You get your satisfaction and you cover all the action
But your loaded dice won't help you in the end
And you can hear 'em callin'
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here it's gone
I'm so tired of losin'
But I still play the game
And I know there's no reason
Still I go on searchin' just the same
