Ani Difranco Circe Of Light Lyrics

Circe Of Light Lyrics

Standing just outside

The circle of light

Avoiding the pool cues

Watching the game

Waiting for you

Hanging in the doorway

Like smoke

Like mistletoe

This is where I'll be

Whenever you come or go



I'm gonna roll you over

Gonna peel you back

Expose your tender center

Watch the juices flow from the crack

Gonna peel you out of your protective shell

Or I might have to break right in there and raise some hell



I don't have no grand plan for you and me

Just nothing is impossible

Nothing is unlikely

I'm just riding the tide

Nothing more

And it's bound to take me out some

Before it brings me back to shore



When you look in the mirror

Do you see visions of your past

I ain't got time for halfway

I ain't got time for halfassed

When I look in the mirror

I see my days to come

And my face is just a trace

Of where I'm coming from



Just outside the circle of light

Is where you've been living

Your whole life

You've got to jump into the center



And launch your attack

And then you've got to crawl back

In the corners
