Circle
Pretty girl of 16 -- has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of 16 -- now a mother grows lazy
Next a 16-year old baby -- like mother grows lazy
And her stomach is churning -- whilst her eyes keep on turning
Round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound...
Father inflicts discipline -- boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town -- for love and adventure
But the words he first heard -- unlike his instincts run deeper
Now boy beats his children -- if they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms -- chases his tail round
And around, round and around...
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound...
The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle...
Take the red line, the green line, the silver or blue
Any line you can think of -- except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family -- and see where they go
Give them a free ticket -- it's the best thing to do
And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it's not from lack of options
Then if you run into the yellow
Well that's up to you
Round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle -- for the next in line
The endless full circle -- are you the next in line
Round and around...
Ruined girl of 16 -- now a mother grows lazy
Next a 16-year old baby -- like mother grows lazy
And her stomach is churning -- whilst her eyes keep on turning
Round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound...
Father inflicts discipline -- boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town -- for love and adventure
But the words he first heard -- unlike his instincts run deeper
Now boy beats his children -- if they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms -- chases his tail round
And around, round and around...
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around, round and around
The circle has an empty sound...
The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle...
Take the red line, the green line, the silver or blue
Any line you can think of -- except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family -- and see where they go
Give them a free ticket -- it's the best thing to do
And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it's not from lack of options
Then if you run into the yellow
Well that's up to you
Round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle -- for the next in line
The endless full circle -- are you the next in line
Round and around...
