Semi-sick sympathy;
close-eyed and braced for catastrophe;
we are not the ones your parents warned you about last summer.
Smiling and syncopating;
cold-eyed and hallucinating;
freeze the words faster than we can speak them.
Can you see them?
Here we go around again,
and it's all I know.
Here we go around again,
and it's not what you said.
All the fading fearless false final refrains we faced...
I know why we go around.
Main line, west and driving faster;
old eyes pray for disaster.
Take the wheel, turn hard, and drive us closer
to the wall we know we'd hit before we fall.
Streetlights, burned out and fading.
Your eyes are dead and waiting
for the last breath to be broken and repeated one more time.
Here we go around again,
and it's all I know.
Here we go around again,
and it's not what you said.
All the fading fearless false final refrains we faced...
I know why we go around.
Here we go around again
and it's all I know.
Here we go around again
and it's not what you said.
We go around, we go around, we go around.
No matter what comes around, we go around.
