Camper Van Beethoven Chain Of Circumstance Lyrics

Chain Of Circumstance Lyrics

So I thought that you knew the question you were asking me to answer 
Now I find in your indifference you never bothered with what the words meant 
You're pulling, you're headless of the slack that forms behind you 
You're forging, you make another link in the chain of circumstance 
 
Your mouth made sounds and words, your lips formed them well 
But to discern the content was hard for me to tell 
And falling, you fail sometimes to convince me of sincerity 
And with that pulling in me I build another link for you to add  
 
Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy 
Oh my friend, you know I hate it, but you know it can't stay 
Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy 
 
Now only time together pushes toward my place to answer 
This music's purgatory awaits its end, time's special dancer 
You're doing just as well as a jewel in the mud 
You'll do just a well when your surviving dust ascends into heaven  
Chorus
