Lyrics

Talk In Circles

Pump up the stock then let it bleed
Run out the clock to hold the lead
You scrimp and you save to place your bet
You simmer and slave but no soup yet
Bring home the check you pray to keep
Wring out your neck and try to sleep
Every day that water?s too deep

Zip down your blouse to share the load
Rip down your house to build a road
Audition your grudge to rave reviews
Petition the judge to spread the news
Rub out your stain by staying poor
Fund your campaign from door to door
Every day you need some more

Set me free from the things you said to me
Set me free from the things you said to me
Let me go from what I did not need to know
You can talk in circles on your own

The sentence is stiff but still sublime
The penance is cliffs you cannot climb
Fishing the pier for sense to speak
Your mission is clear but flesh is weak
Swallow the meat and taste the grass
Follow, repeat, and say the mass
Every day we come to pass

Set me free from the things you said to me
Set me free from the things you said to me
Let me go from what I did not need to know
You can talk in circles on your own

Overhead is to underground
As what you said is to what I found
What I found out

Ducking a punch and losing ground
Chucking your lunch to save a pound
Reversing your field is no surprise
But cursing your meal is not too wise
Over the bend?s a pot of gold
One you can?t spend ?cause you?re too old
Every day this story is told

Set me free from the things you said to me
Set me free from the things you said to me
Let me go from what I did not need to know
You can talk in circles on your own
