Circling The Circumference

Lyrics

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 rigmarole 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 Well, 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-gates crasher The king's new clothes hanger, skeptical sucker Straight man gone solo, drunk or canned laughter I'm sorry, what was the question again?
