lyrics

Tripped a bit
Fell down, my cheeks turned red
It’s become repetitive
But before then
Was found circling nipples
Found a few irregularities
Spotted some patterns
In a female form
Burnt into my head
My explorations saw
Curves and bends
Quantum Mechanics
That string theory
Caught my attentive streak
For pillow talk discuss relativity
We agreed it was the same old brawl
For hearts and minds
Tried Newton, Leibniz
But Hawking caught
Me brushing up on Freud
Newton’s Classical Mechanics
My dad made jokes
About Descartes
While we ate at the table for dinner
There be fables
Tall tales and bibles
But see that hill
That’s where I see a light on

Life lived in a circle
Set to loop
What you finding?
Every theory got loose?
Life lived in a circle
Set to loop
What you finding?
Every theory got loose?

Of course there’s always
Been wrecks and ruins
Some Buddhists and heathens
Happy clappers and Christians
Muslims and atheists
Scientologists, their spaceships
A steaming pile of cults
Seen Nihilists and Koresh’s
Suicide bombers, preppers
Iconoclastic methods
Some went Zen,
Dropped their weapons
Some colouring in the Old Testament
Australian dreaming finding meaning
In Rhinestone Cowboys socks
Monsters in Lochs and Astrologists
Looked for reason, found squat
Confessed to the lot, got so hot in here
I read the last rites to God
My remote roams channels
For something to watch
Forgot what day it was
Lit incense, burned candles
And I had hoped
That my watch might stop

Life lived in a circle
Set to loop?
What you finding?
Every theory got loose?
Life lived in a circle
Set to loop?
What you finding?
Every theory got loose?

I knew your name
But I never really knew you
I was the moth in the flame
The train that ran right through you
I clawed at doors
Tried to pick the flyscreen
Ignore all that I saw
Blotted the rest I’d ever seen
Towed so much baggage
Into that fourth scene
Inside extinct like Thylacines
Rattled around sounding gruff
Why’s enough not enough
The real world it just went puff…

Life lived in a circle
Set to loop
What you finding?
Every theory got loose?
Life lived in a circle
Set to loop
What you finding?
Every theory got loose?
