Trash Can Sinatras - 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 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?
