lyrics

Saturn's rings are slowly slipping down your finger
Will they linger longer, or get stronger?
And how will I know?
It's not hard, just tell me which way to go.

Orbiting, like thirty-three tiny diamonds,
you can find them shining, but they're blinding
your view of the sun.
I guess it's hard to see the brightest one.

And I'm green with envy,
red with anger
white with fear from an imagined danger.
But most of all, I'm blue with loneliness.

Can it be, that we are on separate journeys,
and we're turning slowly? So I'm going
in for the approach.
But it's so hard, when I'm limited by Roche.

And I am a lonesome, lonely volcano.
But I breathe no fire, my desire
comes through just as ice.
I know it's hard, but would it kill you to be nice?

And it's hard to know (I will)
which way you'll go (always)
when you dance around in circles (wonder, wonder)

Why won't you confess (What could)
you want to say yes? (have been)
You just dance around in circles. (always, always)

It's so hard to know (If you)
which way you're gonna go (had been)
when you dance around in circles (closer, closer)

And I'm so depressed, (But you)
'cause you won't say yes. (were so far)
You just dance around in circles. (always, always)

So it goes, the slaughterhouse will devour
every hour of mine, and I'm resigned
to a Goya-ish fate.
But it's so hard, when I know I'm to late.
