So longingly I wish that I could shed my skin, I itch to feel the air again
And I don't feel as though I fit myself very well anymore ya know
I've been waiting for the month of June when I could smell the flowers now if I really wanted to
I'm like a slowly inflated balloon
But I'll float away soon, I'll float away soon
La la la....
I wish it was as simple as a simple song and dance la la la la la
For I would know the further steps to take when you reach out your hands
Please understand where I stand
Another bother for the one that I adore
I can't promise you everything we had before
But I'll try and I'll hope and I'll pray and I'll wish
You've stripped my heart down to a skeleton
First handedly darlin I've never seen that done before
Rosey skinned, confound I hit the ground again, confound I was for sure
Oh I have hidden away my own box of resentments
Right next to the gasoline and matches
Oh darlin where I always plan to burn them but I haven't found the time
Maybe the fault is mine
Circles, circles, circles, circles
Spun around in circles, circles, circles, circles
La la la dizzying circles
Only the children like to spin around in circles
