Mark Heard - Talking In Circles lyrics
I paint a self-portrait poorly But I'll sell it to you pretty cheap I'll gather up all my tears and pour them at your feet If camaraderie melts like a crayon Then indifference spreads like a rash One minute and all your dreams Can turn themselves to trash And I go talking in circles Wind my words around you I go talking in circles Spinning like winter wheels Reeling like a drunken fool I could swear that we're swimming in the workweek Deep divers to treasureless wrecks Throwing punches at hammerhead sharks That's breathing down our necks Let's go to the movies or something Before time gets the best of us both And we resemble those bitter old souls We swore we'd never become And I go talking in circles Wind my words around you I go talking in circles Spinning like winter wheels Reeling like a drunken fool There was something you said in the kitchen Not much but there was something in your voice And I was thinking that we could stand to get out a little more Knee-deep in this town like a tar pit Work harder and deeper you go Lie in wait for some genius to come excavate our bones And I go talking in circles Wind my words around you I go talking in circles Spinning like winter wheels Reeling like a drunken fool
