Lyrics: Robert Forster. The Circle.

She?s in a circle and they?ve all been with each other
It reminds her of a thing that she once said to her mother
You know everyone in the world must know each other
She looks at her man, her sullen man
We don?t know each other

She has the means but no savings bank dreams to travel
She thought she?d lost it, got caught up in the gossip
Of men too scared to come out of the closet
Her days did not reflect they?re as cold as her coffee
Her morning dose that keeps her close to the beauty of her body

It?s that time of night when old friends who shouldn?t turn to each other
And say you know I?ve always found you so attractive
And she said no, no, no, don?t say that to me
Can?t you see I?d rather be with someone outside the circle?

Can?t you see I?d rather be with someone outside the circle
Can?t you see I?d rather be with someone outside the circle
Can?t you see I?d rather be with somebody outside the circle
Can?t you see I?d rather be with someone outside the circle

Can?t you see I?d rather be with someone outside the circle
Can?t you see I?d rather be with someone outside the circle

You go to live it breathe it seize it
Outside the circle
The circle
