lyrics

too tired to be chasing the prevailing wind
stars quiet in the face of yet another incident
and so
you draw another circle
round and round and round yourself

up come the curtains and the players wonder where they are
out rings the clapping but the feeling only goes so far
get cozy on the flip side
like a pebble in the bottom of a well

oh, love
I discovered it's so easy to be free
just make sure that the lights are bright enough that you can't see
that it's secretly me
hey crowd
I hope you make a devil out of me
I'll gladly play a symptom of what's making you unhappy
oh my dears
oh my loves

join the spider with her feelers on the spinning wheel
get your bliss amidst the apple cores and orange peels
her love
she spins a silky web
around and round and round herself

cause it's all right, we got our telephones to dance to
yeah it's all right, we got so many lovers to be passed through
so we might as well
come on let's break another way into this hell

oh, love
I discovered it's so easy to be free
just make sure that the lights are bright enough that you can't see
that it's secretly me
hey crowd
I hope you make a devil out of me
I'll gladly play a symptom of what's making you unhappy
oh my dears
oh my loves
