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
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 s*cker
Straight man gone solo, drunk or canned laughter
I'm sorry, what was the question again?
