You don’t have to hold your head up high
Round and round
I won’t run away this time
Till you show me what this life is for
Round and round
I’m not gonna let you change my mind
Till you show me what this life is for
We are afflicted by fiction
Building a case for eviction
Circling
Guarding a tower of ancients
Shooting down arrows of patience
And patiently circling
You don’t have to hold your head up high
Round and round
I won’t run away this time
Till you show me what this life is for
Round and round
I’m not gonna let you change my mind
Till you show me what this life is for
All the emptiness inside you
Is hard enough to fill
Without a sense of purpose
We’re setting up to fail
You don’t have to make it right
Just hold your head up high
Round and round
I won’t run away this time
Till you show me what this life is for
Round and round
I’m not gonna let you change my mind
Till you show me what this life is for
I want you to be free –
Don’t worry about me
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I bought a ticket to the world,
but now I’ve come back again –
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh I want the truth to be said
Round and round it goes
and oh, don’t you know,
oh, this is the game
that we came here for
In our short years, we come long way,
to treat it bad and throw it –
And if we make a little space,
a science fiction showcase
I know this much is true
A method of reasoning in which one chooses the hypothesis that would, if true, best explain the relevant evidence.
I wander through fiction to look for the truth –
Buried beneath all the lies –
And I stood at a distance to feel who you are –
Hiding myself in your eyes
And just like the movies,
we play out our last scene
You’re always saying, “I guess.”
“That worked, I guess. I’ll see you later, I guess.”
That’s how the story goes
You’re a Scientist. Stop Guessing.
Know. Or Be Quite. That Is All.
That’s the way it goes –
I guess
