Dream Syndicate The Circle Lyrics

I found a way to slow it down
I was twisting all the knobs
And grinding gears in to the dust
Of smoke that covered up the corridors of time
Aiding and abetting an escape
I thought was mine and only mine
Where no one's standing guard
Or dishing dirt and naming names
The past is easier to bend
I found a way to slow it down

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve
In case the spark recedes
I'll draw a circle around the border and perimeter of time
Of motivation and sensation and the walls that I can't climb I'm standing still and letting go
At a speed that I can't know
And I don't even try to pretend or comprehend
That the circle never ends

And the circle never ends
The circle never ends
The line distorts before it bends
The fissure never mends
The point where it suspends
And the circle never ends

And the circle never ends
The circle never ends
The path, it dips and then descends
The straightest line deceives, detains
Delineates and then extends
And the circle never ends
