lyrics
you're asking what holds you up, breaks the cup, gives you a frown
you wanna know who's the one, makes you run, makes you feel down
all the day in many ways, sorrow comes and sorrow stays
it is me!
your blood-stained enemy
so round and round and round we spit
the orbit falls into the ocean and
it sinks deeper than squid
and no one ever learns to swim
you're leaving this world of pain, half-insane, at least your intact
you're trading a fantasy, absurdity, for the world of fact
in this way after today, your love for me will fall away
say goodbye
to a pernicious lullaby
so round and round and round we spit
the orbit falls into the ocean and
it sinks deeper than squid
and no one ever learns to swim
i wonder, when will the sun reach the one under the waves?
i never learned how to hear with my ear -- or how to behave
so all my days and many ways, sorrow comes and sorrow stays
so round and round and round we spit
the orbit falls into the ocean and
it sinks deeper than squid
and no one ever learns to swim
you wanna know who's the one, makes you run, makes you feel down
all the day in many ways, sorrow comes and sorrow stays
it is me!
your blood-stained enemy
so round and round and round we spit
the orbit falls into the ocean and
it sinks deeper than squid
and no one ever learns to swim
you're leaving this world of pain, half-insane, at least your intact
you're trading a fantasy, absurdity, for the world of fact
in this way after today, your love for me will fall away
say goodbye
to a pernicious lullaby
so round and round and round we spit
the orbit falls into the ocean and
it sinks deeper than squid
and no one ever learns to swim
i wonder, when will the sun reach the one under the waves?
i never learned how to hear with my ear -- or how to behave
so all my days and many ways, sorrow comes and sorrow stays
so round and round and round we spit
the orbit falls into the ocean and
it sinks deeper than squid
and no one ever learns to swim
