standing just outside
|
the circle of light
|
avoiding the pool cues
|
watching the game
|
waiting for you
|
hanging in the doorway
|
like smoke
|
like mistletoe
|
this is where I'll be
|
whenever you come or go
|
|
I'm gonna roll you over
|
gonna peel you back
|
expose your tender center
|
watch the juices flow from the crack
|
gonna peel you out
|
of your protective shell
|
or I might have to break right in there
|
and raise some hell
|
|
I don't have no grand plan
|
for you and me
|
just nothing is impossible
|
nothing is unlikely
|
I'm just riding the tide
|
nothing more
|
and it's bound to take me out some
|
before it brings me back to shore
|
|
when you look in the mirror
|
do you see visions of your past
|
I ain't got time for halfway
|
I ain't got time for halfassed
|
when I look in the mirror
|
I see my days to come
|
and my face is just a trace
|
of where I'm coming from
|
|
just outside the circle of light
|
is where you've been living
|
your whole life
|
you've got to jump into the center
|
and launch your attack
|
and then you've got to crawl back
|
in the corners
|
where it's really black
|
