Circuital Lyrics

Spinning out, gracefully, goin' nowhere, quickly
I am older, day by day
But still goin' back to my childhood way
Circuital, 'round and 'round, patiently
Getting lost by the guide
And I am all worked up over nothing
Circuits, all runnin' out
Connect my body deep into the ground

Circuit, connect the earth to the moon
And link our heavenly bodies not a moment too soon
Well you can fling open the windows or you can board 'em up
Satan's jeweled crown or Christ's humble cup
You think you'll find yourself out there out in the lion's den?
In some bloody battle over belief systems

Or disappear into the vacuum total neutrality
Where you can't lose nothin' but nothin' can be gained
Well any way you cut it we're just spinnin' 'round
Out on the circuit, over the hallowed ground
Out on the circuit, over the hallowed ground
Endin' up in the same place hat we started out
Right back in the same place that we started out
