Circling the Drain

We're dying a slow death
Making love as we take our last breath
But do not resuscitate
Now there's nothing left to do but accept our fate

Oh, you're searching for the words
But expletives cannot explain
Just how we got here, circling the drain

And we could talk it through all night
Until we drive ourselves insane
In the morning, still be circling the drain

No medication can save me
From this terminal love you gave me
Still I'm sorry just the same
We're the spitting image of a crying shame

The poison pill and potions filled
With bitterness and pain
Darling, we're now circling the drain

There may be some sleepless nights
And days spent crying in the rain
All this time we've spent just circling the drain

I see vultures in the sky
Eyeing our flesh as they watch us die
Still don't you feel free
Like ashes scattered across the Salton Sea

And I'll survive but I'll miss driving
In the carpool lane
Swerving, speeding, circling the drain

Oh, I'm going to need a friend
But in the end, I can't complain
I'm better off than circling the drain
