Lyrics
CIRCLES
ALARM STARTS BUZZIN AT 5:45
BY 6 HER FEET THEY LAND ON THE FLOOR
6:15 IT KEEPS HER ALIVE
6:30 HITS, GOTTA START ON THE CHORES
WAKE UP THE KIDDOS BY 7 AM
BREAK OUT THE BREAKFAST BUFFET
CLEAN OFF THOSE PLATES
WHILE SHE STARTS ON THEIR LUNCH
8 AM CHIMES AS THE BUS PULLS AWAY
SHE JUMPS IN THE SHOWER
SHE THROWS ON SOME CLOSE
SHE CAN'T BE A SECOND TOO LATE
A 9 AM MEETING
GOD ONLY KNOWS
HOW MUCH MORE WORK
WILL BE PILED HER PLATE
RUNNING IN CIRCLES
MAKES HER WHOLE WORLD START TO SPIN
WHEN WILL SHE REALIZE
CIRCLES DON'T COME TO AN END
SHE PULLS IN FROM WORK
AT SIX ON THE DOT
AS EVERYONE PILES IN THE CAR
SOCCER NEXT DRAMA
AND SOME DINNER SHE BOUGHT
ON THE WAY HOME
HER MIND TRAVELS SO FAR
A HUSBAND WHO NEEDED
DO SEW SOME NEW AND OATS
AND WHO DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR HIS LIFE
BY ALL OF HIS ACTIONS
HE CLEARLY DENOTES
HE CANNOT BE BOTHERED
WITH KIDS AND A WIFE
RUNNING IN CIRCLES
MAKES HER WHOLE WORLD START TO SPIN
WHEN WILL SHE REALIZE
CIRCLES DON'T COME TO AN END
ALARM STARTS BUZZIN AT 5:45
6 HER FEET THEY LAND ON THE FLOOR
