Circle Of Light - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
standing just outsidethe circle of lightavoiding the pool cueswatching the gamewaiting for youhanging in the doorwaylike smokelike mistletoethis is where I'll bewhenever you come or go
I'm gonna roll you overgonna peel you backexpose your tender centerwatch the juices flow from the crackgonna peel you outof your protective shellor I might have to break right in thereand raise some hell
I don't have no grand planfor you and mejust nothing is impossiblenothing is unlikely
I'm just riding the tidenothing moreand it's bound to take me out somebefore it brings me back to shorewhen you look in the mirrordo you see visions of your past
I ain't got time for halfway
I ain't got time for halfassedwhen I look in the mirror
I see my days to comeand my face is just a traceof where I'm coming fromjust outside the circle of lightis where you've been livingyour whole lifeyou've got to jump into the centerand launch your attackand then you've got to crawl backin the cornerswhere it's really black
