Circle Gets a Square

Another night you cannot sleep
And silly strategies and schemes keep you awake
And in your haste, you've lost the sheep
And now there's nothing left to count but your mistakes

Now you're the center of attention
(And you're walkin' on the air)
Such a delicate affair
(Now you know it)
A clever trick of your invention
(Such a good thing you're prepared)
So a circle gets a square

You'd like to lay it on the line
But you know your honesty wont end the fight
Afraid of running out of time
But no one ever sees a victory by being too blind

Now you're the center of attention
(And you're walkin' on the air)
Such a delicate affair
(Now you know it)
A clever trick of your invention
(Such a good thing you're prepared)
So a circle gets a square

The neon lights are brightly buzzing, their humming, they frame your name in the marquee
Now you're what everyone's discussing, their rushing, they're finally aware they care to be
(Ooh ooh ooh)
And in the end you cannot move
For there's an X in every corner and the board is nearly full

Now you're the center of attention
(And you're walkin' on the air)
Such a delicate affair
(Now you know it)
A clever trick of your invention
(Such a good thing you're prepared)
So a circle gets a square
(Circle gets a square)
So circle gets a square
(Circle gets a)
