Trash Can Sinatras - Circling the Circumference
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 because...
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 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?
