Circling the Circumference Songtext
von Trashcan Sinatras

All around the alphabet
To hide a sadder tale of someone sad at
Circling the circumference
Show me the way from the periphery
But everybody is wrapped
In a warm embrace
With their arms around the answers
While i′m wrapped up
In my own rigamarole because

I can't have that in my life
But soon I′ll find
I won't have that in my life

Right or righteous? – i can't say
Another day, another dilemma
Don′t have the time, thirst, wish, itch
Or urge to fit
Or that′s my story and I am
Stuck with it!


I can't have that in my life
But soon I′ll find
I won't have that in my life

You′re deep in conversation
Where you really swim
And in the shallow water
I'm the first one in
A straight-forward answer
Is out of the question
Why her whole body joins in
In the way she smiles but
It′s all too much of a muchness for me

I can't have that in my life
But soon I'll find
I won′t have that in my life


I′m the man who missed a sitter
The pearly-gate crasher
The king's new clothes hanger
Skeptic kind of sucker
Straight man gone solo
Drunk or canned laughter
I′m sorry -
What was the question again?
