[Verse 1]
I'm doing circles in the firing line
No comfort in this heart of mine
It's been a while since that smile graced this face
And there was panic at the break of dawn
With nothing in particular wrong
Except this fate, when will I accept this fate?
[Verse 2]
Because they're fucking up my favourite dream (Fucking up my favourite dream)
And it's enough to make me wanna scream
But instead, I keep my head down for you
As we whisper in the gravy train
Which only ever goes one way
A united state of dеmagogic logic awaits
[Chorus]
I'm doing circles in the firing line
And I'm only еver losing time
In fact I'm late, I've got a date with doom
[Verse 3]
Another sunny afternoon
What the stimulants say is true
Eternal life forever hides inside of you
But we're doing circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
So we'll get to that another time
For now we'll wait, perpetuate all anger and hate
[Chorus]
I'm doing circles in the firing line
And I'm only ever losing time
In fact I'm late, I've got a date with doom
I'm doing circles in the firing line
And it's more than just a state of mind
It's like a wave, a stubborn take on the truth
[Bridge]
Circles in the firing line
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
Circles in the firing line (Circles in the firing line)
[Outro]
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream
They're fucking up my favourite dream

I like Keats’ concept of “negative capability” which he defines as “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason”. This is a song about when our negative capability fails us. I think the internet has a lot to answer for.
