Around a Light - Silkworm

Violence brewing, violence brewing

I can feel it in the air

The sun’s sure hot, violence is brewing

And I can feel it everywhere

As I head into the winding road

And I remembered I was told

To soak yourself into despair

And don’t ever wonder why

I’ve been spinning

I can’t win and

I’m hanging all around a light

The sun’s sure hot, lilacs are in bloom

And I can smell them on you dear

Now what you been doing?

I’ve been stewing, I haven’t seen you for a couple of years

And I laid into the highway’s curve

What I hold when I swerve

I looked, my eyes beyond the path

And I didn’t wonder why

I’ve been spinning

I can’t win and

I’m hanging all around a light

Around the bend, see you there

Around the bend, a dead end

Around the bend,

When you get drunk you look so great

But it’s too late, I’m fine

I’ve been wishing

There was someone who remembered me

And did not wonder why

Or what terrible luck

I’ve been spinning

I can’t win and

I’m hanging all around a light

Around a light
